Im running Photoshop CS2 with the 902 update on Windows XP Professional, version 2002, with Service Pack 2. The operating system is AMD Sempron 2200+, 1.50 Ghz, with 768Mb of RAM. The hard drive is 40Gb with 6.61GB of free space. The video drive is an MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX5500 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500).
Im following the instructions in Katrin Eismanns Photoshop Masking & Compositing book. (Im reading my 13th photoshop book, so Ive performed this operation before from some other book at home using Photoshop 6.01.) Starting on page 465, we convert a channel of an image, which is a kewpie doll, to grayscale to use as a displacement map for the kewpie-doll’s shadow. The kewpie-doll shadow has the only pixels on that layer, just as it shows in the book. Then on page 467, we run the Filter>Distort>Displace operation, using that displacement map. But no matter what displacement map I use (Open) or what Horizontal and Vertical Scales I use (even 100% for each), not only does nothing happen, but nothing appears in the History file.
