Steve Bentley August 19, 2017 at 8:47 am Use Greg’s suggestion of Displacement effect but use a noise on another layer as the source for the diplace. If you use a large scale version of the cell noise or a few others you will get exactly this look and it can animate – no masks required. Reply to this Discussion!
