BallomaticKernel

The BallomaticKernel is a pixelwise kernel which does random access on its single input. It warps a circular area of the input image to look as if it’s being viewed through a distorting lens.

Change the Power parameter to alter the distortion applied inside the circle. You can also change the Size of the circle and the position of its Centre.
