What controls how much melts?

The intensity governs how far the displacement travels and how much of the frame it affects. Low settings produce a subtle drip at edges; high settings liquefy most of the image into vertical streams.

Which photos melt best?

High-contrast images with distinct color regions, because the smear stays visible as it travels. Low-contrast photos melt into an undifferentiated blur where you cannot tell what happened.
