When using Displacement filter the iPad grinds to a halt. Not possible to select layer below. Tapping icon appears to do nothing, then ring flashes blue and off again. Context menu for Displacement also lacks the alpha protection offered in context menu of Displacement live filter. Not working at all with a 16 bit RGB background with live Gaussian blur applied.

If I use 8 bit and minimal blur I can get a result with Displacement filter.

It isn't grinding to a halt for me, even in 32 bit. I'll keep poking it though.

Beneath works but it does not remain highlighted. On the desktop, it is just a button so you press it and then adjust something else and the button also loses its highlight. 

Preserve Alpha isn't present on the desktop destructive filters either which is by design.

Cheers :)

Thanks for the explanation Chris, I'm now on RC2

Displace using the load option works really well, no issues there.

Displace using beneath (in retrospect) does work. It does takes several seconds following the tapping of beneath for anything to respond. I assume this is the filter doing its thing. Problem is, I kept tapping, thinking the tap wasn't registering as it didn’t turn blue, when in fact I think I was causing the filter to recalculate each time I tapped. The blue ring barely flashes and is easily missed. Now I know to expect a delay, I tap and wait. There is a brief (almost imperceptible) flash of the icon, then the strength setting can be adjusted. 

Results are quite good.

Hm, this doesn't sound like the best user experience though. It should be clear at all times what the app is doing I think. I will try it on some bigger documents and pass the feedback on.
