Vectorama
A powerful Vector Shift effect.

Vector Map The layer to use as a luminance-based vector map. Select 'None' to use the current Layer.
Vector Mode The way the plug-in generates the shift vectors. Choose from Linear, Cyclic, or Smooth Cyclic. Each mode yields a slightly different effect.
Distance The distance of the shift.
Attenuate Distance When checked, vector shift distance is attenuated by the vector map.
To use Vectorama for transitions, turn this off.
Field Rotation Rotate the vector field.
Frequency The amount of cycles (complexity) within the vector field.
Vector Smoothing Smooth out the vector field. This adds a little render time, but looks much nicer.
Note: This can take awhile to render when used in 16bpc color with super sampling enabled.
Use Map Alpha When checked, the Vector Map's alpha channel is copied to the layer.
Edge Behavior Method for handling pixels on and beyond the edges of the layer
Super Sample (for Best Quality) Off, High, or Extreme. Higher quality, slower rendering.
Transfer Vector Map Allows you to composite the current Vector Map onto the rendered image
Transfer Opacity The opacity to use when transferring the Vector Map onto the rendered image

Vectorama can be used to simulate painterly effects, as a way to add life to still images, for creating complex animated grayscale maps, revealing one layer through another, and much more.

Experiment. It is surprising what this plug-in is capable of.
