Glitch Cuts, Bismuth & Displacement

These effects move parts of the image somewhere else. Glitch Cuts slices the frame into shards and shifts, removes or fills them, which is the classic torn-screen look; Bismuth facets the picture into the stepped terraces a bismuth crystal grows in, quantizing color as it goes.

Displacement Map is the general case, and the most useful effect here once you know it: it moves every pixel by an amount read from another image - or from another layer of your own stack - so a texture, a gradient or a second photograph decides where the picture goes. Seam Carve removes the least important paths through the image instead, the way content-aware resizing does, so the subject stays and the space around it collapses.

Warp & Distortion, Topological Displacement and the two Local Coordinate effects work on the coordinate grid rather than the pixels, rotating and collapsing small neighbourhoods of the image into themselves. Effects in this category can cut through to the layers beneath, or to transparency - PNG and WebP exports keep the cut-outs.
