Crumpled paper: You use the Displace filter Filters -> Map -> Displace  but even more than the bump map, all depends on the source image(s)

Thank you for the hints. I already experimented a bit with displace, but I get very "pixelated" results, instead of a smooth distortion, as in the video, my sample-image seems to get burst into sand...



ok, I used high levels for this sample to show the effect.

But how can I achieve a smoother effect?

The bum-map filter I don't really understand, I don't know what it actually does, in my eyes it just overlays one layer over the other but doesn't give that distortion effect I want to achieve. Also in the video the water doesn't actually take the shape of the face (which would be what I would like) but just adds the shades...
