Chapter 10 Using Filters 743
Fisheye
Distorts an object as if it were seen through the view of a fisheye lens. The result is an
extremely wide-angle warping effect which is also known as barrel distortion.
You can try using the Fisheye filter with a negative Amount value as an imprecise way
to correct for certain types of barrel distortion in images that were shot using a wide-
angle lens.
Parameters in the Inspector
Radius: Sets the radius of the fisheye lens effect. Values range from 0 (nothing
distorted) to 2 (maximum distortion).
Amount: Sets the amount and nature of the distortion. Values range from –100
(completely concave distortion) to 0 (no distortion) to 100 (completely convex
distortion).
Center: Sets the position of the center of the fisheye effect.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Radius and Amount controls.
Flop
Reverses an image horizontally, vertically, or in both directions. As opposed to “flip-out,”
as practiced by certain fictionalized schools of ninja.
Parameters in the Inspector
Flop: Sets the direction in which the object is flopped. Values can be selected from the
following: Horizontal, Vertical, or Both.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the same control as the Inspector.
