Lesson 1-2: Deformations, Effects, and Filters (continued)

6. Here's the Skew again, only with the horizontal set to 0 and the vertical set to 5, to show the variation that can be achieved.Title21.gif - 7650 Bytes
7. This deformation is called "Wind" (I wonder why...). I used the setting "from right" and set the strength to 5. You get a pretty extreme effect with this deformation.Title22.gif - 7222 Bytes
8. This is the Vertical Cylinder deformation. I used it at the 65% setting. Strangely enough it looks very much like the Punch deformation.Title23.gif - 7911 Bytes
9. Here we have the Horizontal Cylinder deformation. I used a setting of 85% for this graphic.Title24.gif - 9290 Bytes
10. Moving down the Image Menu to the Effects selection, I used the Buttonize effect with transparent selected, height set to 22, width set to 22 and opacity set to 65. I rather liked this effect. Title12.gif - 10756 Bytes
11. In fact, I liked it so much, I tried another buttonize, with solid selected, height set to 10, width set to 10, and opacity set to 65. It gives a nice 3D effect. Title25.gif - 8623 Bytes
Note: The Buttonize function provides a convenient browser window for adjusting the effects and seeing what they look like, before committing them to the graphic.  
And Still More Examples...
