Section 1.1 - Introduction

• This guide is designed to help you using picFX and going further than the boring "ripples", "sphere", "and so on" deformations.
• I will assume that you already know the use of picFX. If not, first read some of the "standard" guide.
• Now if you hate maths, try to forget it a little and read the explanations anyway (no matter if you do not understand the words like convolutions, matrix, and so on, try at least to follow the rules)
  And if maths really make spots grow on your face, then do not use picFX :-)
• There is no specific order for the chapters, you can jump over a chapter that does not interest you and go later back to it.
• This tutorial is still quite small, but do not hesitate to write me both for asking how to do this or that thing on a picture, and to suggest me some effect you have discovered.
• So I will update this tutorial every time there is something to add.
