Description

"Photo or Texture" offers 6 choices;

no.1 Image covered in oily substance

no.2 Image, oily and roughly distorted

no.3 Texture, a woody/painted feel

no.4 Texture, an oily/petrol rainbow surface

no.5 Image, distorted. This has several controls;
"no.5 How You Like" gives three options, 1-distortion, 2-oily surface distortion and 3-another distortion.
"no.5 opacychooser" gives rainbow petrol tints, from clean image to full rainbow colour.
"no.5.1 distortamount" affects only the first option of no.5 and changes the amount of distort.

no.6 Image distorted with offsets, and has it's own controls


Some notes for editing. I like this filter with a "simple filter" result too, it has a cleaner and lighter look. This one with the surface filter is darker and metallic, I like both.

Thanks to Crapadilla's noise lab and pattern lab forum threads.
