Key Features
Swirl Effect
Creates spiral distortion around the center. Positive angles swirl clockwise, negative counter-clockwise. Great for psychedelic and abstract effects.
Bulge Effect
Expands the center outward like a fisheye lens. Creates fun exaggerated perspectives, popular for comedic portraits.
Pinch Effect
Compresses the center inward, opposite of bulge. Creates surreal, squeezed appearance. Combine with bulge for complex distortions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a fisheye effect?
Use Bulge with high positive strength (50-100%). Increase radius to affect more of the image. Works best on photos where the subject is centered.
Can I control where the distortion is centered?
Currently distortions are centered on the image. For off-center effects, crop your image to reposition the subject first, apply distortion, then crop back.
What's the difference between bulge and pinch?
Bulge (positive strength) expands outward from center—things look bigger/closer. Pinch (negative strength) compresses inward—things look squeezed/sucked in. Same effect, opposite directions.
