STYLIZATION CONTROLS
Next we will go over the Stylization Controls section.
Start by selecting a color and then choosing a color blend mode.
Once you have those controls adjusted you can now adjust the color opacity.
Move on to adjusting the shape scale, point amount and point spread.
The Point amount and point spread will expand the displacement the more you move them to right.
Continue with adjusting the amplitude and speed.
Underneath you can control the feather edge and edge falloff.
These sliders will help blend the displacement into your media.
Lastly is the Jitter amount, frequency and noisiness.
All three of these sliders will help control the movement of the displacement.
If you want to randomize all of the jitter sliders just click the generate button.
