The Wrinkle effect is part of the DreamSuite Series 2 Set. Wrinkle is a fun effect that lets you wrinkle and add depth to your images. You may interactively brush and smooth out wrinkles and depth as desired.

A. Wrinkle Brush
This brush allows you to selectively brush on wrinkles to the surface of the photo and to push your photo edges in to form wrinkles.

B. Crinkle Brush
This brush pushes the photo wrinkles down into the photo surface. Use the brush controls to adjust the strength of this effect.

C. Iron Brush
This brush affects the wrinkles on the image in a localized area that you brush over. As you brush, the image reverts back to its former self.

The Brush Opacity control defines how much influence this brush has on the image. The more opaque the brush, the more influence it has. Increase the size of the brush to affect a larger area with this tool.

D. Brush Opacity

E. Brush Size
Click on the horizontal slider to access the brush size control. As you adjust the size control, you will be shown a brush attributes window. The brush attributes window displays the actual size, opacity and feather attributes of the brush as they will be applied when you brush.

Pre-Wrinkle
When checked, this option turns on the automatic wrinkle feature. With this option turned on, use the Variation control to change the pattern of the automatic wrinkle.

Depth
This slider controls how deep and high the wrinkles appear on the surface of the image.

Wrinkle
This slider controls how many wrinkles are applied on the surface of the effect. The higher the setting, the more wrinkles you will see and the tighter in proximity the wrinkles become to one another.

Global Scale
This slider control defines the size of the effect as it is applied to the image. Use this control to scale the size of the effect on a constrained basis.

Apply Background Image
When this is checked, the background image behind the selection will show up in the preview and will also apply as part of the effect.

Variation
This controls the random generation of settings used to create each effect's distinctive patterns. Changing the Variation value for the effect will provide a unique look each time the setting is changed.
