Using the Displace filter
The Displace filter uses an image, called a
displacement map, to determine how to distort a
selection. For example, using a parabola-shaped
displacement map, you can create an image that
appears to be printed on a cloth held at its corners.
This filter requires a displacement map file
composed of either a flattened image saved in
Photoshop format (see "Flattening all layers" on
page 112) or an image in Bitmap mode. You can
use your own files or the files included in the
Photoshop Elements 2 / Plug-Ins / Displacement
Maps folder or the Photoshop Elements 2 / Presets
/ Textures folder.
