1. Select the Reconstruction tool, and then choose a mode from the Reconstruction Mode pop-up menu:
Revert Changes unfrozen areas back to their predistorted state.
Displace Reconstructs unfrozen areas to match the displacement at the starting point for the reconstruction. You can use Displace to move
all or part of the preview image to a different location.
Amplitwist Reconstructs unfrozen areas to match the displacement, rotation, and overall scaling that exist at the starting point.
Affine Reconstructs unfrozen areas to match all local distortions that exist at the starting point, including displacement, rotation, horizontal
and vertical scaling, and skew.
2. Drag the area to restore. The restoration occurs more quickly at the brush center.
Magnify effect
The Magnify effect enlarges all or part of an image. This effect can act like a magnifying glass placed over an area of the image, or you can use it
to scale the entire image far beyond 100% while maintaining resolution.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
Original (upper-left), and with variations of Magnify applied (lower-left and right)
Shape The shape of the magnified area.
Center The center point of the magnified area.
Magnification Percentage by which to scale the magnified area.
Link How the Magnification setting affects the size and edge feathering of the magnified area. Setting Link to any value other than None disables
the Resize Layer option.
None The size and edge feathering of the magnified area don't depend on the Magnification setting.
Size To Magnification The radius of the magnified area is equal to the Magnification value (a percentage) times the Size value.
Size & Feather To Magnification The radius of the magnified area is equal to the Magnification value (a percentage) times the Size
value. The thickness of the edge feather is equal to the Magnification value times the Feather value.
Size The radius of the magnified area, in pixels.
Feather The amount of edge feather, in pixels.
Opacity The opacity of the magnified area, as a percentage of the opacity of the original layer.
Scaling The type of scaling used to magnify the image:
Standard This method maintains sharpness in the image but produces pixelated edges at higher values.
Soft Uses spline algorithms. If you scale the image beyond 100%, Soft reduces edge pixelation and maintains image quality. Soft works
well at large magnification amounts.
Scatter Creates scatter or noise in the image as the image enlarges.
Blending Mode The blending mode used to combine the magnified area with the original layer. The None option displays transparent pixels
around the magnified area.
Resize Layer If Resize Layer is selected, the magnified area can extend beyond the boundaries of the original layer.
Mesh Warp effect
The Mesh Warp effect applies a grid of Bezier patches over a layer, which you can manipulate to distort areas of an image. Each corner of a
patch includes a vertex and two to four tangents (points that control the curvature of the line segment that makes up the edge of the patch). The
number of tangents depends on whether the vertex is in a corner, on an edge, or inside the grid. By moving the vertices and tangents, you can
manipulate the shape of the curved line segment. The finer the grid, the tighter the adjustments you can make to the area of the image inside the
patch.
