• Bump — warps the center of the image toward you, making it appear convex
An example of the Quick Warp effect using Bump distortion.
• Valley — warps the center of the image away from you, making it appear concave
• Swirl — distorts the image in a spiral
• Ripple — distorts the image in concentric rings, like the rings created when you
drop a stone into a pool of water
You can apply Image Warp and Quick Warp to the canvas, selections, and layers.
However, Image Warp allows you to better target areas for warping, which is useful if
you need to warp only a small portion of an image.
To warp an image using Image Warp
1 To apply the effect to:
• The canvas — Click the Canvas in the Layers panel.
• A selection — Click a selection tool from the toolbox, and drag in the document
window to select an area.
• A layer — Click a layer in the
Layers panel.
2 Choose Effects Surface Control Image Warp.
3 In the Image Warp dialog box, enable one of the following options:
• Linear — pulls the selected area as if you were pulling from the top of a cone
• Cubic — pulls a flat surface outward
• Sphere — pulls a surface as if it were a lens
4 Adjust the Size slider.
This slider controls the size of the area affected by dragging the cursor. The higher
the number, the smaller the affected area.
