Ripple Pro

Ripple Pro creates a ripple-like effect similar to the Ripple filter, but there are more controls to define which point is used for the ripple, as well as other ripple variables.

Amplitude

Controls the height of the ripples. If you choose negative values, the ripples descend beneath the surface.

Scale

Determines how far the ripples extend from the center.

Aspect

Controls the elliptical shape of the ripples. A negative aspect creates horizontal ripples; a positive aspect makes them vertical.

Wavelength

Is a measure of the size of the ripples. If the Wavelength is 100%, only one complete ripple fits in the image.

Max Ridges

Controls the total number of ripples that can be generated. For example, set Max Ridges to 5 to create 5 rings of distortion; the areas inside and outside of the rings are unaffected.

Spread

Determines the distance between the ripples and the center. Animate the spread to create continuous rippling of the image.

Center

Sets the center around which the ripple extends. You can use the Set Position button to set the center.

Mode

Determines the type of rippling effect.

Use:	To:
Pond Ripples	Create ripples that move out from the center and that zigzag around the center at the same time.
Out from Center	Create very smooth, even ripples.
Around Center	Create ripples that spiral around the center point.
