The Cubism plug-in is part of the DreamSuite 1 Set. It adds a creative touch to images by adding geometric shapes that emerge from the image and fade from transparent to solid as they come into view.

Shapes
This menu allows you to change the shape of the Cubism effect. Your choices are squares, triangles, pentagons and hexagons.

Size
This slider controls the size of the shapes.

Saturation
This slider reduces the amount of color show through the shape. With lower settings, you will see less color.

Transparent Shapes
When this option is checked the shapes are semi-transparent and blend together. When off, the shapes are formed of solid colors and are derived from the image.

Constrain to Selection
When checked, it forces the effect to confine changes to the selection . If you uncheck this box, it will apply to the whole image.
