Distort

This contains filters for distorting images.


Pinch

This filter distorts images by pinching at the center point of the transformation.

Ripple

A filter that distorts images by rippling outward from the center of the image.

Curved surface

A filter that distorts images by making them appear as if they are reflected on a cylindrical or spherical surface.

Polar coordinates

Converts the coordinates of an image to polar coordinates (coordinates indicated by radii and angles) or rectan­gular coordinates (coordinates in which the axes form a rectangle).

ZigZag

A filter that distorts images by creating a zigzag pattern.

Wave

A filter that transforms the coordinates of images to a wave shape.

Twirl

A filter that transforms images by creating a twirl effect.

Fish-eye lens

This filter distorts images by making them appear as if they are viewed through a fish-eye lens. The area outside the "lens" is transparent.
