Warp tool effects
The entries on the Tools Toolbar's Warp Tools flyout work as a group.
Note that these are brush-on effects rather than dialog-based filters. Most of the
tools shift pixels that the brush passes over, while the Unwarp brush undoes the
effects of the other tools. The actual amount of pixel displacement depends on
the direction or amount of brush movement, the brush tip, and the tool's settings
selectable from the brush context toolbar.
Original Effect applied
The
Elastic Warp Tool
shifts pixels in the direction of
brush motion, hence the
appearance of pulling or
elasticity. Drag across the
image to shift pixels in the
direction of brush motion. Use
for subtle effects such as
creating a "smiling" subject.
The Pinch and
Punch Tools apply,
respectively, a concave or
convex spherical distortion
under the brush. Wiggle the
brush in the region you want to
change.
