What does the Tunnel effect change?

Tunnel 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 Tunnel?

Choose Tunnel for gaming and technology visuals, motion-inspired social posts, or abstract transformations of simple silhouettes 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.

About the Tunnel effect

Tunnel offsets channels, pixel runs, or image coordinates through a bounded transformation and blends the displacement with the source. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.

How to use Tunnel

Upload a photo, adjust the Tunnel intensity, compare its processed preview with the source, and download the finished result.
