Open your image in Pixlr, and duplicate the layer by right-clicking the layer and selecting 'Duplicate Layer.' This step is important to ensure that the original image remains untouched while you apply the dispersion effect to the duplicate layer
Select the 'Lasso Tool' from the toolbar and carefully draw around the area of the image that you want to apply the dispersion effect. It's essential to ensure that you get the selection right as the dispersion effect will only be applied to the selected area
Once you have made the selection, go to the 'Filter' menu, and select 'Distort' and then choose 'Displace.' A dialogue box will appear with several options. You can experiment with these options to achieve your desired effect
After selecting the options, you will be prompted to choose a displacement map. A displacement map is an image that is used to determine the direction and intensity of the dispersion effect. You can create a custom displacement map or use one of the default options provided by Pixlr
Once you have selected your displacement map, hit the 'OK' button, and the dispersion effect will be applied to your selected area. If you are not happy with the results, you can undo the effect and adjust the settings until you achieve the desired look
Turn ordinary photos into surreal images with Pixlr's Dispersion Tool. Just mask the area you want to apply the effect and adjust the effect with the sliders on the toolbar
For a better result, mask following the edges of the image. To achieve this properly, you can adjust the brush size with the slider when selecting the Disperse tool
When applying the Dispersion Effect, you can manipulate the effect by adjusting the sliders for scale, amount, stretch, direction and spread. For a more subtle effect, you can decrease the scale and amount of the effect
