Bulge effect
The Bulge effect distorts an
image around a specified point, making the image appear to bulge
toward or away from the viewer, depending on the options you select.
Eran Stern explains how to use the Bulge effect in a video tutorial
on the Motionworks website.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
Original (upper-left), and with variations of Bulge applied
(lower-left and right)
- Horizontal Radius and Vertical Radius
- The width and height of the distorted area, in pixels. You
can also set the radius values by dragging the selection handles
in the layer.
- Bulge Height
- The apparent depth of the bulge. Positive values push the
bulge toward the viewer. Negative values pull the bulge away from
the viewer.
- Taper Radius
- The shallowness of the sides of the bulge. A taper radius
of 0 produces a steep, pronounced bulge.
- Antialiasing
- The amount of edge smoothing (blending of colors) at the
boundaries of the bulge. Anti-aliasing is applied only when the
layer quality is set to Best.
- Pin All Edges
- Prevents the edges of the layer from bulging.
