starting point.
Affine Reconstructs unfrozen areas to match all local distortions that exist at the starting point, including
displacement, rotation, horizontal and vertical scaling, and skew.

Magnify effect
The Magnify effect enlarges all or part of an image. This effect can act like a magnifying glass placed over an area of
