I'm gonna take this canvas and I'm going to paint on it with some white strokes or some very light strokes like this to demonstrate the warp and focus effects for you. And what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna turn this into water using the warped filter. So I have a couple of these lines here and I'm going to effects, I'm gonna go on down to surface control and I'm going to choose quick warp. As you see I already get a preview here, I can choose to warp this in a sphere, bump and of course you can always change the angle, valley, once again you can change that as well. So valley goes in and bump goes out, swirl, and ripple. So you can really create some very nice effects like water drops. So I'll go ahead and just play around with this a little bit like so, click OK and now you have something that you could use in an animation so you start off very slowly and then you save each increment. So you say this one is like ripple five for example and you may have had four other ones that were less severe. So that's how use the warp, quick warp here. What I'm gonna do now is I'm going to go to focus and talk about some of these effects. As you see here we have camera, motion, blur we have depth of field, glass distortion, and some other blurs here. Let's talk about motion blur and as you see I am able to apply a blur and I can adjust the thickness of that blur and the angle of the blur cause it is called a motion blur so this thing is in motion. And the radius of that blur. So let's go ahead and just click OK and we can see that we have applied a blur that shows that this thing is in motion somehow. Maybe, maybe the camera is out of focus as this thing is moving past us, we'll undo that and let's go back to focus again and we'll choose to super softening. And when can now enter how many pixels we want to soften this. I went to ten. click OK, and we have soften the actual artwork and let's go ahead now and actually undo that. Back to focus and this time we will choose a zoom blur and as you see here I am able to zoom as if though the thing is flying away from us. I can zoom in and we're going towards that object. So that's a nice effect as well so let's click OK on that, actually increase this a little bit more. Takes a little while for the computer to figure out what all of these pixels are gonna do once it's zoomed. And now you have this like we're in warped speed here. So as you see there is quite a few filters as you can apply to artwork. And don't forget we started out with just some simple lines and applied these filters to create some very unique and cool effects.
