Crystal and Glass
Crystal and Glass places transparent, curved objects over your image, refracting
light and simulating distortions seen when viewing images through a crystal. This
effect can be applied to the whole image, a selection, or an object. The crystal's
shape, size, position and other properties can be adjusted in the Crystal and
Glass dialog box.
To use the Crystal and Glass effect:
1. Click Effect: Distort - Crystal and
Glass.
2. Select a Crystal template from the
Effect Panel.
Note: By default, Keep aspect ratio
will be selected. This constrains
the crystal's maximum size to the
shorter dimension of the image
or selection.
3. Adjust the dimensions and
proportions of the crystal with the
Width and Height variables in the
Model tab.
Note: Attributes vary from template to
template.
4. Adjust the position of the crystal in
the image by clicking and dragging
it across the preview window.
5. Adjust the lighting in the Lighting
tab.
6. Add (+) and remove (-) crystals to
the frame as required in Elements.
More than one type of crystal can be
applied to the image.
Reposition them in the stack using
the up and down arrows.
7. Click Preview to view the effect at
full size.
