Texture Layer
Strobe Light effect applied
The Strobe Light effect performs an arithmetic operation on a layer or makes the layer transparent at periodic or random intervals. For example,
every 5 seconds the layer could become completely transparent for one-tenth of a second, or the colors of a layer could invert at random intervals.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
The color of the strobe light.
The transparency of the effect. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the effect result composited
on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the layer. For example, if you set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result
on the layer; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t show through.
How long, in seconds, each strobe lasts.
The time, in seconds, between the start of subsequent strobes.
The probability that the strobe operation applies to any given frame.
Choose Makes Layer Transparent for each strobe to make the layer transparent. Choose Operates On Color Only to use the operation
specified by Strobe Operator.
The operation to use for each strobe.
Texturize effect
The Texturize effect gives a layer the appearance of having the texture of another layer. For example, you could make the image of a tree appear
as if it had the texture of bricks, and control the depth of the texture and the apparent light source. At Best quality, the texture layer is positioned
and scaled with subpixel precision.
Chris Zwar provides an example project on his website that uses the Displacement Map effect, the Turbulent Displace effect, the Texturize effect,
and a combination of Blur and Color Correction effects to create a transition in which an image appears as a watercolor image washed onto a
rough piece of paper.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
