The
Displace filter uses an image, called a
displacement map
, to determine how to distort a selection. For example, using
a parabola-shaped displacement map, you can create an image that
appears to be printed on a cloth held at its corners.
-
Select
an image, layer, or area.
-
Choose Distort > Displace from the Filter
menu.
-
To define the magnitude of the displacement, enter a
value between ‑999 and 999 in the Horizontal and Vertical Scale
text boxes.
When the horizontal and vertical scales are 100%, the greatest
displacement is 128 pixels (because middle gray produces no displacement).
-
If the displacement map is not the same size as the selection,
select how you want the map to fit the image:
- Stretch To Fit
-
Resizes the map.
- Tile
-
Fills the selection by repeating the map in a pattern.
-
Select how to fill voids that are created by the filter
in the image, and click OK.
- Wrap Around
-
Fills voids with content from the opposite edge of the image.
- Repeat Edge Pixels
-
Extends the colors of pixels along the image’s edge in the direction
you specify.
-
Select and open the displacement map. Photoshop Elements applies the map to the image.
