Could someone help me? I’m trying to make a code in Processing where you have an image, and on the image an ellipse moves with your mouse. But the ellipse is not blank or filled but rather it warps the image. Bloats, inflates, morphes, blurs it. To manipulate the image in some degree, but only where the ellipse is based on the mouse input.

I have a short deadline on a project so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!
