TopHATslash Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Photoshop's displace is probably the coolest effect. What it does, it basically it asks your to upload a .psd (.pdn for the plugin). Then it distorts whatever is on that layer by using this uploaded file. http://litlle-rafa.deviantart.com/art/T ... n-63011850 Example^ Just thinking of a great plugin for some of the programmers to do.

Mike Ryan Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sort of like this: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24491 Or even this: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22521 You see, we have two versions of what you are describing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 On the topic of displace, there is another plugin by MadJik viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23344 But following the link in TopHATslash's post, It is different than all 3 of the displacement plugins PDN have. ps, That tut is for Gimp, no?

TopHATslash Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I really don't know if it is for gimp. BUT I do know it is a different than the links you gave me Mike. The effect (called filter in PS) gives a scatter'd, distorted, but not jagg'd feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Have you used the effect in PS...or in GIMP for that matter? The displacement effect in PS distorts pixels in your active image based on the luminosity values of the pixels in a source file. Both of the PdN versions are actually more powerful that the PS version in that you can use any image (not just .psd's) and you can control the direction of the distortion... My suggestion... Google "photoshop displacement tutorials", read any relevant search results you find and then come back and try the plugins for PdN.

Ash Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That effect look totally different than any displacement effects I've seen (Both PDN & PS). I'll give it a try and see what effects in PDN would work like that.

barkbark00 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Using the Displacement feature to achieve slightly grungy distortion is a fairly popular concept. Here is a PS tutorial that explains it...: http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials ... nt_effects Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thanks for the link! Just checked out the tut, pretty cool, but pretty hard to follow :? But I still think the effect TopHATslash wants does not need displacement. Off to try more stuff with PDN's 3 displacements Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Here is something I threw together to demonstrate the use the displace effect. I know it sucks, but hopefully you can see the similarities between this and the effect in that tutorial TopHATslash posted.

TopHATslash Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I like it bb. And yes, I have used PS's, I own CS2. I see a slight difference in PS's and PDN's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
