About the Displace filter
This filter can be applied as a non-destructive, live filter. It can be accessed via the Layer menu, from the New Live Filter Layer category.
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted in the filter dialog:
- Strength—sets the intensity of pixel displacement. Negative values shift pixels upwards, positive values shift pixels downwards. Type directly in the text box or drag the slider to set the value.
- Scale To Fit—when selected (default), the displacement map stretches or shrinks to fit the document size. If this option is off, the displacement map retains its native dimensions.
- Load Map From File—sets the displacement map used in the filter. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.
- Load Map From Layers Beneath—determines the displacement map using layers beneath the selected layer.
