98) How to work with Offset.
Moves a selection a specified horizontal or vertical amount, leaving an empty space at the selection’s original location.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Offset filter.
Step 2
You can fill the empty area with the current background color, with another part of the image, or with your choice of fill if the selection is near the edge of an image.
Step 3
After applying the Offset filter.
97) How to work with Maximum filter.
Are useful for modifying masks. The Maximum filter has the effect of applying a choke—spreading out white areas and choking in black areas.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Maximum filter.
Step 2
As does the Median filter, the Maximum filters look at individual pixels in a selection. Within a specified radius, the Maximum filters replace the current pixel’s brightness value with the greatest or least brightness value of the surrounding pixels.
Step 3
After applying the Maximum filter.
96) How to work with Minimum filter.
Are useful for modifying masks. The Minimum filter has the effect of applying a spread—spreading out black areas and shrinking white areas.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Minimum filter.
Step 2
As does the Median filter, Minimum filters look at individual pixels in a selection. Within a specified radius, the Minimum filters replace the current pixel’s brightness value with the greatest or least brightness value of the surrounding pixels.
Step 3
After applying the Minimum filter.
95) How to work with High Pass.
Retains edge details in the specified radius where sharp color transitions occur and suppresses the rest of the image (A radius of 0.1 pixel keeps only edge pixels.) The filter removes low-frequency detail in an image, and has the opposite effect of the Gaussian Blur filter.
Step 1
Select the area to work with High Pass filter.
Step 2
In High Pass, you can adjust the Radius(A radius of 0.1 pixel keeps only edge pixels.)
Step 3
After applying the High Pass filter.
M) Other filters
94) How to work with Custom.
Lets you design your own filter effect.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Custom filter.
Step 2
With the Custom filter, you can change the brightness values of each pixel in the image according to a predefined mathematical operation known as convolution. Each pixel is reassigned a value based on the values of surrounding pixels. This operation is similar to the Add and Subtract calculations for channels.
Step 3
After applying the Custom filter.
93) How to work with NTSC Colors.
Restricts the gamut of colors to those acceptable for television reproduction to prevent over saturated colors from bleeding across television scan lines.
Step 1
Before applying the NTSC Colors filter.
Step 2
After applying the NTSC color filter.
* When creating images for usage of television or video, use the Color Settings > RGB Setup command to set your RGB space to NTSC (1953).
L) Video
92) How to work with De-Interlace.
Smooths moving images captured on video by removing either the odd or even interlaced lines in a video image. You can choose to replace the discarded lines by duplication or interpolation.
Step 1
Select the area to work with De-Interlace filter.
Step 2
In De-Interlace dialog box, you can choose the eliminate odd fields or even fields, and create new fields by duplication or interpolation.
Step 3
After applying the De-Interlace filter.
91) How to work with Texturizer.
Applies a texture you select or create to an image.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Texturizer filter.
Step 2
Texturizer option include texture ( burlap, canvas, sandstone), scaling, relief, light direction, and invert.
Step 3
After applying the Texturizer filter.
90) How to work with Stained Glass.
Repaints an image as single-colored adjacent cells outlined in the foreground color.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Stained Glass filter.
Step 2
Stained Glass option cell size, border thickness, and light intensity.
Step 3
After applying the Stained Glass filter.
89) How to work with Patchwork.
Breaks up an image into squares filled with the predominant color in that area of the image. The filter randomly reduces or increases the tile depth to replicate the highlights and shadows.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Patchwork filter.
Step 2
Patchwork options include square size and the relief.
Step 3
After applying the Patchwork filter.
88) How to work with Mosaic Tiles.
Draws the image as if it had been made up of small chips or tiles and adds grout between the tiles.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Mosaic tiles filter.
Step 2
Mosaic Tiles option includes tile size, grout width, and lighten grout.
Step 3
After applying the Mosaic Tiles filter.
87) How to work with Grain.
Adds texture to an image by simulating different kinds of grain—regular, soft, sprinkles, clumped, contrasty, enlarged, stippled, horizontal, vertical, and speckle.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Grain filter.
Step 2
Grain option include intensity, contrast, and the Grain type include regular, soft, sprinkles, clumped, contrasty, enlarged, stippled, horizontal, vertical, and speckle.
Step 3
After applying the Grain filter with sprinkles grain type.
K) Texture filters
86) How to work with Craquelure filter.
Paints an image onto a high-relief plaster surface, producing a fine network of cracks that follow the contours of the image. Use this filter to create an embossing effect with images that contain a broad range of color or grayscale values.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Craquelure filter.
Step 2
Craquelure option include crack spacing, crack depth, and crack brightness.
Step 3
After applying the Craquelure filter.
85) How to work with Wind.
Creates tiny horizontal lines in the image to simulate a wind effect.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Wind filter.
Step 2
Methods include Wind; Blast, for a more dramatic wind effect; and Stagger offsets the wind lines in the image.
Step 3
After applying the Wind filter.
84) How to work with Trace Contour.
Finds the transitions of major brightness areas and thinly outlines them for each color channel for an effect similar to the lines in a contour map.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Trace Contour filter.
Step 2
Choose an Edge option to outline areas in the selection: Lower outlines where the color values of pixels fall below the specified level; Upper outlines where the color values fall above. Enter a threshold (Level) for evaluating color values (tonal level), from 0 to 255. Experiment to see what values bring out the best detail in the image.
Step 3
After applying with the Trace Contour filter.
83) How to work with Tiles.
Breaks up an image into a series of tiles, off-setting the selection from its original position.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Tiles filter.
Step 2
You can choose with what to fill the area between the tiles: the background color; the foreground color; a reverse version of the image; or an unaltered version of the image, which puts the tiled version of the image on top of the original and reveals part of the original image underneath the tiled edges.
Step 3
After applying the Tiles filter.
82) How to work with Solarize filter.
Blends a negative and a positive image—similar to exposing a photographic print briefly to light during development.
Step 1
Select the area to work with Solarize filter.
Step 2
