This filter creates a kind of bubble whose size is that of the image or selection, as if the content was wrapped around a sphere.

Poznámka These options are described in 2 – „Common Features“.
- Mode
-
-
Radial: maps the image in a sphere around the center. This is the default. See the example above.
-
Horizontal: stretches the image horizontally around an imaginary sphere.
-
Vertical: stretches the image vertically around an imaginary sphere.
-
- Angle of view
-
Camera angle of view (0 - 180°)
- Curvature
-
The Spherical cap angle, as a fraction of the complement angle of view. The result is less domed as the curvature decreases from 1 to 0.
- Amount
-
Interesting for negative values, which result in a hollow instead of a bump (from 1.000 to -1.000).
- Resampling method
-
These interpolation methods are described in Cubic (sometimes called „Bicubic“): The color of each pixel is computed as the average color of the eight closest pixels in the original image. This usually gives the best result, but it naturally takes more time..
Drawing a selection before applying filter allows you to create another shape, such as a sphere: select Ellipse tool with the Fixed option checked; draw a circle; apply Spherize filter with the Use the selection as input selected. Invert selection and fill it with wanted background.
