Color shift

You can find the Color shift effect in the Toolbox under the Objects tab in the Live effects area. You use it to shift contours of an object at a self-selected angle in the colors magenta, cyan, and yellow. Use the Color shift effect to separate the color channels of a video or photo. This can make the image look blurred or distorted.
