Interestingly enough originally I had thought to call it "Dipped in Acid" heh heh. Thanks I'm glad you like it...btw the distortion can be toned down a bit through the controls. I like the image you chose to illustrate it. Very nice example of the effect. It looks really crazy on people photos too...one thing I have noticed however, is that it seems to work better on images that are taller, longer vertically than on landscape or longer horizontally sized images. For example here is what happens to Kate Beckinsale when the filter is applied to her.

Speaking of gruesome, heh heh...check these randoms out:

je je very good the second one in black and white, very funny Although any part of the ody can´t be seen, but anyway is good.

I can contribute to this too with this scared melting man

Although the white wax is not only to kill, it can make also beautiful ceramic like statues like this tiger here

I that this wax converting tool can be very useful, beautiful if choosing carefully the photo base, and have a possible great potential and not to only dissolve things

Sorry that in the first tiger photo is a dark because I forgot to add brightness and then I could not modify it as the forum would not let me.

Here is another option that is exactly the same as above with wax but in this case I have changed the invert height option and so the wax is now melted in many parts and looks like more a 2D.

And this is after cleaning the mess and taking out all the wax, the cat is surely not happy

(well really this is the original photo before wax but it could be really possible that would be the after photo)

rotfl mate...that poor cat...
I had to take a double look to make sure the second wet cat was not run through the filter. I was trying to figure out how you melted only the cat not the tiles... Once again fantastic choice of source imagery. You make my filter look really good, thanks!

Do you have any filters that I might check out?

Post-processing: If you layered the melting pic with an un-melted version and merged them with a transparency gradient, masking or just selective erasing you could make the melt happen to selected portions.

YES, this is a very good idea, and is true that you could mix the un-melted (original) version and using selections, mask, delete, feather or use gradient, use a blend mode or erase the parts that you do not want the effect applied and so you could have more control.

Also it could be done further making 3 images ! First the original, and 2 different melting images and mix the 3.

And even more, you use the original, one melting image and then use the same filter to get a second wax white filter, and mix in whetever way the wax image filtered with the melt image and the original to get even more strange effect.

Or use other different filters in combination to this one.

and....
