making a displacement more "fluid" - Espermaschine - 10-22-2016
When i displace a gradient with a displacement map, i get slightly jaggy edges.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Or does it require a higher bitrate image, so that there is more information in the gradient ?
Using 'Adaptive supersampling' when drawing the gradient does not help.

Could be due to round-off errors. Can you post an example?
You can smooth gradients by using Filter>Noise>Spread noise

In that case it seems to be how the displacement map works. But working with a higher definition image would make it look smoother.

What do you mean higher definition ?
Is bigger canvassize and later scale down an option ?

Exactly...

Tried it, dies not really improve the situation much.
But blurring before the displacement does.

Blurring the map or the layer?

the gradient layer that is to be displaced
