Shatter

The Shatter effect explodes graphic images. Use the effect's controls to set explosion points and adjust the strength and radius. Anything outside the radius doesn't explode, leaving portions of the layer unaltered. You can choose from a variety of shapes for the shattered pieces and extrude the pieces to give them bulk and depth. You can even use a gradient layer to precisely control the order of an explosion. For example, if you import a logo, use Shatter to blow a logo-shaped hole in a layer.
