Dispersion Effect

How to apply dispersion effect on Pixlr?

Step #1

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

Step #2

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

Step #3

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

Step #4

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

Step #5

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
