Fluted Glass result made from the bundled sample
The sample refracted through a vertical ribbed-glass treatment.

Bend the image as if light were passing through glass.

Fluted Glass refracts a photograph through adjustable ribs, lenses, and waves. Control the optical distortion separately from grain, highlight, shadow, and finish so the result can stay subtle or become fully abstract.
