From barrel lens and wave warps to liquid glass, tiny planets and animated silk — thirty distortions live behind one Effect popup.
Barrel, fisheye, bulge, twirl, ripple and shockwave — the essential optical and wave distortions, done cleanly.
Liquid, molten glass, underwater caustics, soap bubbles and rain on glass — refraction that looks genuinely wet.
One slider adds prismatic, lens-style color fringing to every effect in the filter.
Thirty distinct distortion effects live behind a single popup. They span six families — lens, waves, noise, symmetry, liquid and glass, and designer warps — all sharing the same handful of controls. Switch the Effect, and the inspector reconfigures itself around it.

Barrel / Pincushion Bulge the whole frame outward like a wide lens, or pinch it inward — Amount picks the direction.
Fisheye Wrap the image around an extreme spherical wide-angle, bowing everything toward the center.
Bulge / Pinch Push a circular area outward or suck it inward around a point you place.
Magnifier A circular glass loupe that enlarges whatever sits beneath it, with a defined rim.
Twirl Spin the image around a center, swirling harder toward the middle.
Wave Warp Rolling waves travel across the whole frame — sine, triangle, square or sawtooth.
Ripple Concentric ripples radiate from a center point, like a drop hitting water.
Shockwave An expanding ring of distortion blasts outward, with five wavefront styles.
Turbulent Displace Organic fractal noise churns and warps the image like turbulence.
Heat Haze Shimmering, rising heat distortion, like the air over hot asphalt.
Fluid Flow A flowing curl-noise current drags the image smoothly downstream.
Mirror Kaleidoscopic mirroring reflects the frame across an axis you set.
Tiny Planet Wrap the whole frame into a little spherical planet.
Tunnel Pull the image down an endless tunnel — round, square, hex or cave.
Droste Spiral The recursive Escher spiral, where the image repeats into itself forever.
Spacetime Ripple A gravitational-lensing ripple that bends space around a point.
Supernova An explosive radial burst warping outward from a blazing core.
Chrome A molten liquid-chrome warp with rolling specular highlights.
Fluid Vortex A swirling whirlpool that spins the image down into its center.
Liquid Flowing liquid displacement, like the image poured into moving water.
Liquid Glass Refraction through flowing molten glass, with bright highlights.
Underwater Gentle caustic wobble and refraction, as if shot beneath the surface.
Pond Ripples Soft concentric pond ripples spreading slowly across the surface.
Glass Blocks Refraction through a wall of textured glass blocks.
Soap Bubble A refractive, iridescent soap-bubble dome with a glassy highlight.
Rain on Glass Realistic raindrops and rivulets refract and glint on a glass pane.
Neural An organic, brain-like neural warp that folds the image in on itself.
Wander Drifting points meander across the frame, nudging the image as they go.
Liquid Drag Smear the image along a direction, like dragging wet paint with a brush.
Silk A soft satin drape that folds the image like flowing fabric.
Every warp is built from smooth, artifact-free math. Soft falloffs mean no telltale rim ring at the edge of an effect, and the closed-form lens model never wobbles. At Best quality it supersamples, so even extreme bends stay crisp.

Give any effect a Speed and it comes alive, moving on its own over time. Push it forward, run it in reverse, or stop on a perfect frozen frame with Phase. And a single Chromatic Aberration slider adds prismatic edge color to every effect in the filter.
