Reconstructing distortions

Use the reconstruction tool and its modes to reverse distortions or redo them in new ways.

To restore a preview image to a previous state:

1. Select the reconstruction tool, and then choose a mode from the Reconstruction Mode pop-up menu:
• Revert changes unfrozen areas back to their predistorted state.
• Displace reconstructs unfrozen areas to match the displacement at the starting point for the reconstruction. You can use Displace to move all or part of the preview image to a different location.
• Amplitwist reconstructs unfrozen areas to match the displacement, rotation, and overall scaling that exist at the starting point.
• Affine reconstructs unfrozen areas to match all local distortions that exist at the starting point, including displacement, rotation, horizontal and vertical scaling, and skew.
2. Drag the area to restore. The restoration occurs more quickly at the brush center.
