  • ${Markup(_('<strong>Vertigo</strong> - with this effect, your movements leave ghostly trails in the final image.'))}
  • ${Markup(_('<strong>Edge</strong> - this effect makes everyone seems as if they are thin neon, or drawn in chalk on a chalkboard.'))}
  • ${Markup(_('<strong>Dice</strong> - as if you were looking through patterned glass, this effect dices up your image!'))}
  • ${Markup(_('<strong>Warp</strong> - my, what a big nose you have - one false move and your nose disappears and your eyes grow huge! This effect warps your image.'))}
