Date updated: May 2nd, 2013

 

The displacement sets are all for commercial use, all royalty-free, use to create items for sale. The displacement maps are for countless applications and are all in PSD format (you can also just convert the PSD files to PNG JPG or TIFF if you wish) - all Price: $ 7.95 each. All the sets are by graphicxtras.com (Andrew Buckle).

 

The displacement maps are basic files but these files can be used in many of the Photoshop filters such as displace and also glass and others. You can use the PSD displacement maps in Photoshop to create distorted effects, displacements, painted effects and much more. The PSD files can also be quickly converted to other formats such as TIFF and PNG and used as bump maps or surface effects in many other applications. You can also use the Photoshop displacement maps in filters such as third party tools such as KPT

Photoshop Filters

Displace filter

You can use the PSD files in the displace filter. Access the displace filter via the filter menu. The filter is pretty old and appears not to have been updated for many years (other than to allow for the filter to work in CS6) - the interface and filter technique has been unchanged for ages. It doesn't even feature a preview image so the displacements are very much trial and error. The filter works in a two dialog approach: settings followed by another dialog for the selected displacement map. The filter allows for the setting of the scale of the displacement as well as how to apply the displacement map (stretch to fit or tile) as well as how to fill the undefined areas of the image. After clicking OK, you are then allowed to select the displacement map PSD file and apply that.

 

You can re-apply the displacement map multiple times via the filter repeat command. This is generally only effective when using smaller values of scale. Low scaling values result in a very subtle distortion.

This filter works well with scripting as you can create scripts with a randomized element, creating effects that match painting. Instead of applying 1, 1 for the scaling, using scripting this can be repeated over and over with subtle changes to the numbers to result in all number of different displacement map end effects.

Glass filter / displacement maps

Quite a powerful filter that can be accessed via the distort glass filter command. The glass filter also uses the displacement maps. The glass filter has changed with the times and is now part of the filter gallery - you can set the distortion, smoothness, texture (displacement map) as well as scaling (though sadly not horizontal and vertical separately) and inverted. The glass filter can be applied multiple times within the same filter gallery and with different displacement maps and different settings of scale and smoothness. You can also combine other filter effects with the glass and the filters can be modified and re-ordered. Another useful feature with CS5 is that you can use the displacement map / glass filter as a smart filter - allowing for a more flexible application of the displacement maps.
