Applying Blobs

The Blobs effect creates a pattern similar to oil floating on water. The effect distorts underlying image as if it were liquid and places blobs that are based on color, clipboard content, or a pattern, on the image.

You can use one of three sources to fill in the blobs. You can produce blobs that look like bubbles by creating a circular selection that’s shaded like a sphere, and then copying it to the Clipboard.

Blobs create a nice basis for the Apply Marbling effect because they create interesting color patterns. You may want to apply this effect to your original image before Apply Marbling. For more information, see Applying Marbling.
