A Liquib Screensaver is now available as of version 2.0, and it's free!  Also, Warp and Shine Tools and a Mirage Effect have been added.  Numerous minor improvements and tweaks were included.  Here are a few more details:  (Also see Liquib 2.0.1 and 2.0.2)

• Free Screensaver =>  The fully functional Liquib Screensaver is freeware!  The screensaver operates much like the Automatic Effects feature of the main Liquib program, and uses the same sort of Configuration Files.  Further information and a download link can be found on the Liquib Screensaver page.

• Warp Tool =>  The Warp Tool mangles a source image with an assortment of swirls, bends, whorls, thickenings and thinnings, all smoothly mingled together.  It can do horrific things to faces and bodies (usually not very flattering things).  A truly vast variety of Warpings is possible by adjusting the available parameters.  The Style choices are Lumpify or Revulsify, and there are 256 variations of each of those.  Complexity and Intensity parameters control the level of detail and how extreme the distortions will be.  Warps can also be rotated, shifted and/or stretched.
  

• Shine Tool =>  The Shine Tool manipulates colors to apply various lighting effects.  It examines source image pixels to detect brightness/darkness differences and gradients of color variances, and then emphasizes edges, creating a sense of depth, much like a bas-relief carving.  Depending on how parameters are configured, the results might resemble shiny metal plated surfaces, glowing neon billboards or other, much weirder coatings of glossy, mingled hues.  The choices for Style are Metallic, Color Gradient, Metal Outline, Glowing Edges, Luminous Lines, Double Diffs, Thermal Levels, Dim Brilliance and Candyland.  The detection of edges and the application of lighting can also be influenced by Smoothness, Depth, Resolution, Contrast and Gradations adjustments.  Shine derived colors can be merged with source image colors according to a Colorize % value, with 0% being only source image colors, and 100% being entirely Shine colors.
  

• Mirage Effect =>  The Mirage Effect generates wavery, quivering reflections either below or above a portion of the image.  It approximates the natural optical phenomenon that can occur when extreme differences in air temperatures cause light to refract, creating an illusion of a watery, mirroring surface in the distance.  A common example of this might be seen while driving on a hot day, as pools of water seem to appear on the highway far ahead, perhaps reflecting the sky above or background hills or oncoming cars.  Waviness and Intensity values control the scale and degree of distorting undulations.  Options are available to create multiple replicating Mirage images, alternately inverted and upright, and to elongate or shorten the mirrored scenes.  As with other Liquib Effects, Mirages will typically move and evolve until finalized, with choices for Meandering, Swirling and/or Traveling motions.  The Mirage Effect might also be used to simulate a reflective pool or puddle of water, that perhaps is gently agitated by a breeze.  (I considered calling it Puddle Effect instead, but Mirage sounded much more glamorous.)
  

• Automatic Effects Tiling =>  The Tiling feature of Liquib captures a portion of the full screen and mirrors that area to create Tiles that can be concatenated together seamlessly and endlessly in all directions.  The Tiles can optionally be centered to maximize symmetries, and they can be put into continuous automated wandering motion.  With past versions, there was only a choice to turn Tiling on or off during Automatic Effects.  Liquib 2.0 allows Tiling to be activated at random intervals during Automatic Effects, based upon a Percent Usage of Tiling slider that can vary from 0% to 100%.  Options are also available to enable Tile Centering and Tile Wandering according to Never, Always or Random choices.  These capabilities also apply to the new Liquib Screensaver.
  

• Other =>  Many miscellaneous enhancements and fixes were made with Liquib 2.0.  These are the most notable:
  • The rendering algorithms for the Rumple Tool (both Normal and Improved Quality) have been revamped to slightly improve appearance and also to be somewhat more efficient.
  • An Improved Quality rendering option has been added for the Relief Tool which will generally create smoother results.  A new Relief Sensitivity parameter has been included that can influence how edges are detected.
  • The Normal Quality rendering routines for the Wave and Flow Effects now produce slightly less pixelated results, and are also a bit more efficient.  Improved Quality rendering for the Wave, Flow and Bubble Effects should now create cleaner results (though somewhat slower to render).
  • Some additional variations have been applied to Beam Effect pulsations, hopefully making Beams more interesting to watch while they're active and evolving.
  • All of the Open and Save Dialogs for images and other files have been updated to newer, more capable styles.
  • If an ICC Color Profile is stored within a source image file, then that information will now be retained with any saved Liquib generated images that were derived from that source image (for JPG, TIFF, PNG and PSD image formats).  Also, the Save / Quick Save Options screen includes a new option to similarly copy and save EXIF data from original source images (again applying to JPG, TIFF, PNG and PSD formats).  The default Save Directory can now automatically be set to the last folder saved to.
  • The timing for video captures should be more accurate when the Automatically Adjust Capture Timing option is set.

The 2.0.1 release of Liquib fixes a glitch that occurred when toggling between full-screen and Menu display modes, which sometimes caused the Open Image dialog to fail, along with other odd problems and occasional aborts.  Also, the improved quality rendering of Bubbles was revamped and is now much faster.  Certain Tile Wandering patterns that were awfully jerky and frenetic have been adjusted and should now appear somewhat calmer.  The free Liquib Screensaver has also been updated to version 2.0.1.

Liquib 2.0.2 

Liquib 2.0.2 was primarily released to fix screen lock-ups and other glitches that would occur with the Tiling feature in some situations.  Version 2.0.2 of the free Liquib Screensaver is also now available.
