Settings:
The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
- Choose between Destination and Source mode from the pop-up menu. Source mode allows you to set default mesh points. that can then be restored with Make the destination match the source mesh.
- Make the destination mesh match the source mesh—synchronises meshes at their source.
- Reset both meshes—restores the grid to a uniform rectangular shape. Nodes which have been added are distributed evenly across the grid.
- Hide/Show Mesh—hides/shows the grid. The warp mesh can still be adjusted when hidden (indicated by the cursor change).

- Sharp—switches the selected node to a sharp mode.
- Smooth—switches the selected node to a smooth mode.
- Merge—merges the effect applied with the layers below and exits the warp operation.

- Delete—removes the filter completely together with its layer.
