Another thing you might want to look at - make your distribution map just black and white (no grey).
It will be easier do see if the displacements are applied or not. (where it's grey it isnt applied as strongly).

"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."
Man Ray, modernist painter
