Spherize

Overview

What Spherize does

Spherize creates lens-like bulges, globe effects, soft pinches and stylized radial distortions with controllable center, size and iterative strength.

Think of pushing the image through a curved surface: the deformation type chooses the surface shape and Deform controls how strongly pixels follow it.

When to use it

Lens bulges
Globe effects
Pinch transitions
Organic graphic warps
Stylized face or object distortion
