Applying the Glass Distortion dynamic plug-in
The Glass Distortion dynamic plug-in creates a layer that simulates the appearance of viewing the image
through textured glass. You can move the layer in the document to view the distortion over different parts
of an image.
A section of an image with Glass Distortion applied.
To create a Glass Distortion dynamic layer
1 Do one of the following:
• In the Layers panel, choose the Canvas.
• Choose a selection tool from the toolbox, and then drag in the document window to select an area.
2
In the Layers panel, click the Dynamic Plug-ins button , and choose Glass Distortion.
3 In the Glass Distortion Options dialog box, choose one of the following displacement sources from the
Using list box:
• Paper — uses the selected paper texture. Paper texture is good for creating the pebbled glass effect.
Unless you want frosted glass, you’ll probably want to increase the scale of the paper.
• Current Selection — uses the currently selected area in the document window
• Image Luminance — uses the current document’s luminance
• Original Luminance — uses the clone source’s luminance
Image pixels are displaced, based on the light and dark areas of the source.
4 To modify the distortion effect, adjust any of the following sliders:
• Softness — controls the transitions between displaced colors. Increasing softness creates more
intermediate steps and produces a smoother distortion. If you experience aliasing in a glass distortion,
try increasing the softness.
