There is one particular effect that I wish to learn how to achieve and I haven't been able to find a tutorial anywhere for it. I also have no idea what to call the effect, which is probably a big factor in not being able to find anything on it.
An example of the effect can be found here - <
http://www.aoineko.com/indexv1.html> - The navigation for the site is at the bottom left. If you click on the link "*the band" you can see the effect on the bottom image.
If you could share any ideas on how I can achieve this effect I would be most grateful.
Thanks so much!

I think the most simple way to create this effect is by using the smudge tool.
Take an image, select the smudge tool and for a brush choose a square one if you would like it nice and squared off and just drag downwards, for a solid line colour like on their images you will need the pressure quite high but you can vary it and get a different looking effect. :)

That's just a repeat of the last row of pixels.. select the bottom row and copy it a dozen times and you're there. (If you're going to use it a lot you might consider using storing your selecting as a pattern and than to use that patern with your paint bucket).

Lxx, Thanks for your reply!
I played around with the suggestion you made. I must be missing something. It doesn't seem to be working to create that particular effect - at least the way I was trying to do it. Could you clarify on the steps?

An easy way to get this effect, which is essentially just a physical distortion, with enough space at the bottom of the canvas, make a rectangular selection at the bottom of the subject, choose Layer via Copy, then use Free Transorm, (Ctrl+T), on the copy and stretch it vertically downward...
Other filters can then be applied to the stretched copy, if deired, to give it some blur or jitter.

try: <

The free distort filter might work.
Andromeda Velociraptor filter (not free) might also work.

Lxx, I totally gotcha now! Thanks for taking the time to put together that tut. I was keeping the brush size too small to get the right effect. Using that large brush is perfect! Thanks again!

No problem, glad to have been of service :D And it was something to keep me away from finishing an assignment for uni for a few minutes at least... *goes back to it now*
