A type of image distortion. This is where a subject of the image is manipulated in size and/or shape, sometimes to an extreme degree.
This effect may be achieved using a digital tool, such as a 'warp tool' or 'swirl tool'. It may also be employed in a hand-drawn manner that mimics said tools.
For images with a warped background, see wavy background.
