Preset
Pixel Stretch
A stark one-axis stretch that collapses the frame into graphic bands.
Stretching an image along a single axis is a blunt graphic move: detail collapses into bands and the frame becomes a diagram of motion or compression.
Pixel Stretch keeps that one-axis idea under a clear working name.
