Glass Distortion

Simulates the effect of your object being deformed as it shows through a piece of
glass. An image well lets you assign an object to use as the pattern in the glass, using
any image, movie, or shape. Other parameters let you control the scale and amount of
distortion.

When this filter is initially applied, Glass Distortion behaves as if there were a black
image applied to the Map Image well, which will leave the target object unchanged.

To learn how to add an object to the Map Image well, see “

Compound Blur

” on

page 716.
