# 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:
