What does the Crystal Facets effect change?

Crystal Facets warps image coordinates through the named geometric transform, blending displaced pixels back over the source for an adjustable distortion rather than a fixed preset. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Crystal Facets?

Choose Crystal Facets for experimental portraits, editorial layouts with digital tension, or music artwork and event posters when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains legal documents, small typography, group portraits, or images whose important details already sit close to the frame edge.
