I know how to produce a refraction effect in photoshop cs3 but,
is there a technique or plug-in that can be used to create a real time refraction that will adapt to the background image its refracting when ever its changed or moved.
Or do I have to keep sampling the image I want to refract into the object doing the refraction each time I want to change the background image.

I want to set an effecting that behaves similar to the the windows aero theme on vista, as a window in vista moves it refracts whatever its on top of.
Can I set up something like this in photoshop so i don't have to keep sampling the background where my refraction object is over and manually refracting it with filters?

Is this possible?
