## 13. Map Filters

### 13.1. Introduction

Map filters use an object named map to modify an image: you map the image to the object. So, you can create 3D effects by mapping your image to another previously embossed image (“Bumpmap” Filter) or to a sphere (“Map Object” filter). You can also map a part of the image elsewhere into the same image (“Illusion” and “Tile Seamless” filters), bend a text along a curve (“Displace” filter), etc.

This category describes the following filters:
