Phase
You can create an arbitrary map (.amp) file by applying the Curves effect, selecting the pencil icon, then clicking the save (floppy disk) icon.
Use an arbitrary map file in the Glow effect by clicking the Options link, then selecting the .amp file.
Where in the color cycle to begin color loops. By default, color loops begin at the origin of the first loop.
The midpoint specifies the balance between the two colors used in the gradient. Lower percentages use less of the A color.
Higher percentages use less of the B color.
The color of the glow if you choose A & B Colors for Glow Colors.
Specifies whether the glow is horizontal, vertical, or both.
Mosaic effect
The Mosaic effect fills a layer with solid-color rectangles, pixelating the original image. This effect is useful for simulating low-resolution displays
and for obscuring faces. You can also animate it for a transition. At Best quality, the edges of the rectangles are anti-aliased.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

The number of blocks in each row and column.
Gives each tile the color of the pixel in the center of the corresponding region in the original image. Otherwise, each tile is given the
average color of the corresponding region in the original image.
Motion Tile effect
The Motion Tile effect replicates the source image across the output image. When you change the placement of the tiles, it uses motion blur to
accentuate the movement if motion blur is enabled.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
Carl Larsen provides a tutorial on the Creative COW website that shows how to use the Motion Tile effect to create a whip-pan transition between
two layers.
The center of the main tile.
Dimensions of tiles as a percentage of the input layer dimensions.
Dimensions of the output image as a percentage of the input layer dimensions.
Flips adjacent tiles to form mirror images. If Phase is set to 0, selecting this option causes the edges of the layer to be mirrored
with the surrounding tiles.
The horizontal or vertical offset of the tiles.
