Original (left) and with variations of Transform applied (center and right)
Adjust the following controls for the Transform effect:
Scale Height Scales height up or down as a percentage of the current layer height.
Scale Width Scales width up or down as a percentage of the current layer width.
Skew Specifies skew amount.
Skew Axis Specifies the axis on which the skew is based. Changing the skew axis has no effect if Skew is 0.
Use Composition’s Shutter Angle Specifies that the Transform effect uses the shutter angle of the composition when
performing motion blur. If this control is not selected, the Transform effect uses the option for the Shutter Angle
control.
Shutter Angle Determines the amount of motion blur to apply to the layer if Motion Blur is enabled for the layer.
Uniform Scale Scales both the width and the height of an image.
Turbulent Displace effect
The Turbulent Displace effect uses fractal noise to create turbulent distortions in an image. This effect is useful for
adding distorted movement to a layer. For example, use it to create flowing water, funhouse mirrors, and waving
flags.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
Original (left) and with variations of Turbulent Displace applied (center and right)
Adjust the following controls for Turbulent Displace:
Displacement Specifies the type of turbulence used. Turbulent, Bulge, and Twist warp the image in slightly different
directions. Turbulent Smoother, Bulge Smoother, and Twist Smoother each perform the same operation as
Turbulent, Bulge, and Twist, except that they create smoother warps and may take longer to render. Vertical
Displacement warps the image vertically only. Horizontal Displacement warps the image horizontally only. Cross
Displacement warps the image both vertically and horizontally.
Amount Specifies the amount of displacement in the layer. Higher values result in more distortion in the layer.
Size Specifies the size or radius of the displaced or distorted areas in the layer. Higher values result in larger areas of
distortion.
