I haven't used Fireworks in a long time. I just use GIMP, but Fireworks should work. In the example image you have provided, the distortion is so little I would just Blur it.
try this:
But if you really want that rough glass distort effect, you should use GIMP, it's free! and open source, why not?. These settings are pretty good on an image width of 1024px. Here you go!
Example look closely
Rectangle Select Tool
over where you want.Ctrl + C
then paste Ctrl + V
.Layers Panel
, Right Click
on the Pasted Layer
and select Duplicate Layer
.Paint Brush Tool
set Color (white) Size (Large enough to make painting easy)
and paint over that area.Rectangle Select Tool
to select where you want the black part.Paint Brush Tool
set Color (black)
and paint the area.Layers Panel
set Opacity (25)
Pasted Layer
and blur Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
set x (10), y (10)
.Layers Panel
, Right Click
and select Duplicate Layer
.Ctrl + A
and then press delete
.Filter -> Noise -> Hurl
set Random Seed (whatever), Randomization (60), Repeat (5)
.Colors -> Desaturate
set Lightness (on)
.Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
set x (2px), y (2px)
.Layers Panel
, Hide
this layer and select Pasted Layer
Box Select Tool
over where you have the borders (hold Shift
to select the other one). and Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
set Horizontal (100), Vertical (0)
.Ctrl + A
and Filter -> Map -> Distort
set x (10) and the hidden Layer, y (10) and the hidden layer, Displacement Mode (Cartesian), Edge Behavior (Smear)
.Opacity, and color
Here is an example of what I got
Rectangle Select Tool
and drag over the image where you want to do that effect.Ctrl + C
then paste Ctrl + V
now select all Ctrl + A
.Right Click
on the top layer and select To New Layer
.Right Click
on that layer select New Layer
set Layer name (Cloud), Layer Fill Type (Transparent)
.Filters -> Render -> Clouds -> Plasma
.Turbulence (7)
(Unless it is a very small image).If you find your image is huge and need more noise, just:
Filters -> Map -> Make Seamless
.Scale Tool
set interpolation (None)
Mark Keep Aspect
.Filters -> Map -> Tile
to the size of your image, Done.Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
set Horizontal (5px) Virtcal (5px)
.Filters -> Edge-Detect -> Sobel
mark everythingFilters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
set Horizontal (5px) Virtcal (5px)
.Filters -> Map -> Displace
set x (30, Cloud layer) y (30, Cloud layer), Distortion Mode (Cartesian) Edge Behaior (wrap)
.Cloud
and Image
layer.Rectangle Select Tool
Select where the pasted image is.Cloud
layer then Layer -> Crop Layer To Selection
then re-hide Cloud
layer.Pasted image
layer Blur (10px)

with the Cloud
layer as X &Y
, about 20 each, and mark Smear
.New Layer

and then paint over it.Select Rectangle Tool
Hold Ctrl + Click and Drag
over the area where you do not want borders leaving selected where you want borders.Paint Tool
set Color (white)
and then paint over the area.Layers Panel
set Transparency (25%)
.Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
you want to un-mark Keep Aspect
so you can set Horizontal (100) Virtcal (0)
.Text Tool
set Font, Text, Size, Color and Layer Transparency
.Select By Color Tool
set Threshold (3)
then Click
on your text, it should now be selected.Filter -> Blur -> Guassian Blur
set x (40), y (40)
.
That's the gist of it! Tween until it looks how you want.
Enjoy.
If you did't get all that, ask me to explain it. good luck!
There is. Use the rectangular Marquee tool to select a section of the image. Copy the section. Choose Edit > Deselect, and then switch back to the regular pointer tool. Choose Edit > Paste to drop the copied section over the original image. With the pasted section selected, choose Blur > Gaussian blur from either the main toolbar or the FW live filters. Draw a white rectangle over the blurred image section. In the layers panel, select the blurred image section and cut it to the clipboard. (Edit > Cut). Click on the white rectangle to select it and Choose Edit > Paste Inside to paste the blurred image section into the rectangle.
