500 18. Modifiers

Each wave type comes with its own set of options for tweaking the shape of
the wave. Use those options to control the fine tuning of the wave, and
remember to keep an eye on the Waveform Preview to see what your
tuning is doing to the wave.

As you can see, there are quite a few options available for your actions. The
best thing to remember after absorbing this much information is that you
don’t have to juggle all of the variables at once. Whatever effect or purpose
you are planning for your modifier, there are lots of waveforms available to
choose from.

Now that we have described each of the variables and actions you can
combine, we can focus on the Waveform Preview. This is the real key to
working with modifiers, as you will see.

The Waveform Preview

The Waveform Preview is your core tool for controlling functions and
determining how variables will change the look of your layers. It has a few
key pieces of information that it displays for you which are immensely
helpful in reading what your function or variable will do. Let’s start by
breaking down each piece so that it’s easy to understand.
