Applying the Spherize filter
The Spherize filter gives objects a 3D effect by
wrapping a selection around or inside a spherical
shape, distorting and stretching the image.
For more options and control, use the 3D
Transform filter. See “Using the 3D Transform
filter” on page 157.
To spherize a layer or selection:
1 Select the layer or area you want to spherize.
2 Choose Filter > Distort > Spherize.
3 Drag the slider to the right, into positive values,
to stretch the image outward as if it’s wrapped
around a sphere. Drag the slider to the left, into
negative values, to stretch the image inward as if
it’s wrapped inside a sphere.
Applying the Twirl filter
The Twirl filter rotates a selection more sharply in
the center than at the edges. Specifying an angle
produces a twirl pattern. Select the layer or area
you want to twirl, and then choose Filter >
Distort > Twirl.
To apply the Twirl filter:
1 Select the layer or area you want to twirl.
2 Choose Filter > Distort > Twirl.
3 Drag the slider to the right into positive values
to twirl the image clockwise, drag to the left into
negative values to twirl counterclockwise, or enter
a value between –999 and 999.
Applying the Wave filter
The Wave filter creates an undulating pattern on a
layer or selection. You can set the wave pattern
type, and fine tune various wave properties.
To apply the Wave filter:
1 Select the layer or area you want to undulate.
2 Choose Filter > Distort > Wave.
3 Select a wave type in the Type section: Sine
(creates a rolling wave pattern), Triangle, or
Square.
4 To set the number of wave generators, drag the
slider or enter a number between 1 and 999.
5 Drag the minimum and maximum Wavelength
sliders to set the distance from one wave crest to
the next. Set both sliders to the same value to
create a consistent pattern of wave crests.
6 Drag the minimum and maximum Amplitude
sliders to set the wave strength.
7 Drag the horizontal and vertical Scale sliders to
set the height and width of the wave effect.
8 To apply random results based on the set of
values in the dialog box, click Randomize. You can
click Randomize multiple times to get more
results.
9 Select the Wrap Around option to fill the voids
in the image with content from the opposite edge
of the image, or select Repeat Edge Pixels to extend
the colors of pixels along the image’s edge in the
direction specified.
10 Click OK.
