If you want to learn the Displace Filter

 

Welles Goodrich - 09:45am May 9, 2004 Pacific

Recently I decided to undertake a study of the Displace Filter and found three tutorials which were excellent.

Steve's series of tutorials presents a wide variety of uses.

Markzebra's guides you through using displace in animation.

Stroker's series of tutorials are perhaps the best if you are trying to comprehend how displace really works even if you are visually oriented. I've received permission to host a PDF download of this work which
builds knowledge step by step with great good humor to boot!

    Another resource with 15 different tutorials on using the Displace filter can be found here:

    Note that the link in this reply will provide links to other sites. A couple may not work and there may be some links redundant to the ones in the first post, above.

    Here's another Displacement Map tutorial in PDF form from Photoshop Studio Skills: For Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS. In it, you'll also learn a little about the Layer Styles' "Blend If..." functions. This helps make the text used as an example look more realistically "attached" to the satin cloth it appears to be printed upon.

    CreativePro today has posted another displacment tutorial by Photoshop Café's award-winning Colin Smith. This one's been around for awhile and it really shows nicely how it works. A JPEG displacement map is linked to in the article so you can follow along with his tutorial:

    Could someone summarize briefly what the Displace Filter does or can do?  That would be helpful.  thx.

    It warps an object based on the light or dark values of another file, or map. If you need to make a objects shadow conform to an irregular surface, the displace filter is perfect. It's useful to creating glass effects as well. Check through the previous posts in this thread for some links such as this fine tutorial.
