Wave Distortion

two things:

I'm using CS3 on a PC. I'm using the wave filter to distort an image. writing down all the characteristics ie, # of generators, wavelength, amplitude, scale ect. Is there anyway to recreate that EXACT wave pattern on a particular image once I've left the program? It seems to generate another algorithm even if I input the same numbers.

Also, I'm distorting an image at 72dpi as a test. When I replace the image with an exact replica at 300dpi and apply the wave distortion, I'm unable to get even remotely the same results. the wave patterns are much tighter. I've moved around all the characteristics with no result.

Please help.

Thanks so much.

If you record the wave filter in an action, the parameters you enter will be written into the action and can then be applied to any image of the same resolution.

If you want to apply a wave to images of different resolutions, you should either create a separate action for each resolution, or record steps in an action to convert the resolution to a single standard and then convert it back after applying the wave filter.

The same parameters entered into the wave filter should always give the same results on multiple images of the same size and resolution.
