Warp tool effects

The entries on the Warp Tools flyout work as a group. Most of them shift pixels

that the brush passes over, while the last one undoes the cumulative effects of the

others. The actual amount of pixel displacement depends on the direction of

brush movement, the brush tip, and the Context toolbar's Opacity, Brush Size,

and Quality settings.

The Elastic Warp Tool shifts pixels in the direction of

brush motion, hence the appearance of pulling or

elasticity.

The Pinch and Punch Tools apply, respectively, a concave

or convex spherical distortion under the brush. To apply

this effect to a selection or layer, use

Effects>Distort>Pinch/Punch....

The Twirl Tools produce a “spin art” effect—liquid paint

on a surface revolving either clockwise or counter-

clockwise around a central point. As with Pinch and

Punch, you can apply either effect to a selection or layer

using the Effects>Distort>Twirl.

The Thick/Thin Warp Tool shifts pixels 90º to the right of

the brush direction, which has the effect of spreading or

compressing edges along the stroke.

The Unwarp Tool reduces the strength of the current

warped effect under the brush.
