To be more precise, it creates the effect of glass lenses tiled over the image, with controls for intensity, zoom and two different wave settings. You can also turn on angularity, radiation and shift. Presets include bubbles, grid and two tiling styles. In the example below, a tiled glass radiates out from the center of the image.

I also like Breakfast a lot. The Breakfast filter—I have no idea why it's called this—is similar to effects we've seen for Adobe After Effects, creating ripple effects over the image.

As you can see from the images above, the ripples can be adjusted to a variety of angles and sources. There are sliders for cycle, zoom, red, green, blue, intensity, wave 1 and wave 2. There are also settings for angle, radiation and shadow, as well as six presets (most, but not all, named after breakfast foods). If you deactivate the Shadow check box, it also produces texture and gradient effects.
