From PM Rubber  2.0 review at ZDNet:

"Rubber from the Picture Man Collection lets you add wacky special effects to raster-based images. Transform a friend's image into a bizarre or hilarious caricature by using effects such as Random Deformations, Explosions, Collapses, Free Warp, and Skew. Although Rubber lacks the painting and drawing tools needed to create images from scratch, it can enhance your existing graphics in popular formats with a variety of processes. You can crop, resize, lighten, darken, adjust contrast, smooth, sharpen, and convert images to negatives. Rubber can imitate a black-and-white, 16-color, or 256-color display to help you get an idea of what your graphic will look like on systems with reduced color capabilities. Other features include generation of dynamic effects, direct export to .avi or animated .gif formats, text effects, deformation brushes, and extensive Web graphics exporting abilities. It also supports printing, TWAIN-compliant scanners, and transparent .gif files. Unlike some programs of this type, Rubber's interface has the classic Windows 9x look-and-feel, with standard toolbar icons and right-click support, so it shouldn't take you long to figure it out"
