Filter “Waves” applied with default options and period = 20.0

With this filter you get the same effect as a stone thrown in a quiet pond, giving concentric waves.

You can find this filter through Filters → Distorts → Waves….

Figuur 17.84. “Waves” filter options

Presets, Preview, Split view

	Opmerking
	These options are described in Paragraaf 2, “Common Features”.

Center X, Center Y

Move the center of the waves

Amplitude

Varies the height of the waves.

Period

That is wavelength. Varies the distance between the top of waves.

The high default value suits large images. For images of some hundreds pixels wide and high, a lower value, such as 20 in our example, fits better.

Phase shift

This command shifts the top of the ripple.

Aspect ratio

Values less than 1.00 render waves oval, with major axis vertical. Values higher than 1.00 give a major axis horizontal.

Resampling method

These interpolation methods are described in Interpolatie.

Clamp deformation

TODO.

Use the selection as input, Use the entire layer as input
