Tint effect

The Tint effect alters an image's color information. For each pixel, the luminance value specifies a blend between two
colors. Map Black To and Map White To specify the colors to which dark and bright pixels are mapped. Intermediate
pixels are assigned intermediate values. Amount To Tint specifies the intensity of the effect. The layer's quality setting
does not affect Tint. For more complex tinting, use the Colorama effect.
This effect works with 8-bpc, 16-bpc, and 32-bpc color.

Distort effects

Bezier Warp effect (Pro only)

The Bezier Warp effect shapes an image using a closed Bezier curve along the boundary of a layer. The curve consists
of four segments. Each segment has four control points (two vertices and two tangents). The vertices control the
position of the segments, and the tangents control the curvature of the segments.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
Original (left) and with variations of Bezier Warp applied (center and right)
The positions of vertices and tangents determine the size and shape of a curved segment. Dragging these points
reshapes the curves that form the edge, thus distorting the image. For example, you can use Bezier Warp to reshape
one image to fit another, as in wrapping a label around a jar. Bezier Warp is also useful for correcting lens aberrations,
such as the fish-eye effect (barrel distortion) that can occur when using a wide-angle lens. Using Bezier Warp, you
can bend the image back to achieve an undistorted look. By animating the effect and choosing a high quality setting,
you can create fluid visual effects, such as a jiggling gelatin dessert or a fluttering flag.
Adjust the following controls for the Bezier Warp effect:
Specifies the starting vertex for the top segment or the ending vertex for the left segment.
Top Left Vertex
Specify the starting and ending tangents for the top segment.
Top Left Tangent, Top Right Tangent
Specifies the ending vertex for the top segment or the starting vertex for the right segment.
Right Top Vertex
Specify the starting and ending tangents for the right segment.
Right Top Tangent, Right Bottom Tangent
Specifies the ending vertex for the right segment or the starting vertex for the bottom segment.
Bottom Right Vertex
