Abstract
A system for generating a warping effect in an image having a plurality of regions, each associated with a distortion vector. The system includes a programmable processor; and a computer-readable medium including a computer program product comprising instructions operable to cause the programmable processor to receive a source image; receive a user input specifying a movement; modify one or more distortion vectors of the distortion vector field; and modify the source image. The system also includes defining a path segment vector in response to user movement of a brush cursor; modifying one or more distortion vectors having originations covered by the cursor based on the path segment vector; and repeating defining and modifying to produce a warping effect.
