You can also the above technique to create slices in the image. Unfortunately, you cannot record the effect as an action, the command is not (it seems) recorded when you create an action so any scaling or rotation etc is only applied to the source image. You can also duplicate the layers as well as add effects to them such as shadows etc to create your final disjointed image. Once you have finished with all the slicing and dicing of the images, set them all visible again (if they were hidden) and unless you moved everything the image should look much the same as before but now you can shift the layers or perhaps re-scale or rotate the individual images. The layer has had a Gaussian blur live effect added. You can also combine this with effects, so select the active layer and apply an effect, this is probably more useful when you have disabled the layers above. If the layer is not properly selected then the region will be limited to the previous region. The key thing is that you must select the blue button to make the layer active and then you can apply the effect to that. Go to the layers panel and disable that layer as I always find it tricky to use the tool when I have active layers. Select the top duplicated layer and then click the button and then position and size it and press return. The best panel for this is to use the layers panel which can be found via the window menu and right side menu and duplicate command. Multiple / Disjointed layer effect from any image You can also constrain the height and width by clicking the link button between those settings in the top bar if you are using those controls or hold down the shift key is you are interactively applying the tool. The only setting that needs to be changed along the top bar is PPI setting in the top left and set that to 300 or 72 or 1 etc, it does have an effect on the end result.

The area to be removed is in a lower opacity. You can also use the top bar to change the region's position and size SettingsĬlick the button and change the size / origin by editing the rectangle either interactively or via the values in the top bar. You can move the region around by using the selection tool as well as re-sizing the region via the same tool. Select an image and then click the 'crop image' button and set the region interactively with the bounding boxes.

You can, of course, do this all in Photoshop etc but this feature means you don't have do the task in another application How to quickly use You can find the crop image at the top of the application, it appears when you select an image.
