  Adjustment Layer –> Displacement Map?

  Posted by Tyler Ammons on November 21, 2016 at 12:44 am

  Hi! I’m working on a video in which im interested in using displacement maps a lot. I wanted to figure out how I could transform an adjustment layer effect (such as ripple) and apply that to something like a solid layer so that I can then use it for a displacement map… Is there any way to do this? I know it sounds dumb, because I should just be using the effect itself instead of displacement, but I was just curious if this was possible.

  Hi! Thanks for the quick answer! Im a little confused though… do you mean duplicate the adjustment layer with the effect? So I have two ripple adjustment layers, then precomp them?
