Applying Filters and Effects

•

Click the Thumbnail View button (

) at the

bottom of the Filters palette to view the ﬁlters

as thumbnails.

•

Choose a display option from the Filters palette

menu: List View or Thumbnail View. (See “Using

palette menus” on page 23.)

Previewing and applying ﬁlters

Applying ﬁlters—especially to large images—can

be time-consuming. You can view an example of

the effect in the Filters palette. Some ﬁlters also

let you preview the effect before you apply it to

your image.

To save time when trying various

ﬁ

lters,

experiment on a small, representative part of

your image.

To preview and apply a ﬁlter:

To apply a ﬁlter to an area of a layer, select that

area. To apply a ﬁlter to the entire layer, leave the

layer unselected.

Do one of the following:

•

In the Filters palette, select the ﬁlter you want to

apply. If the ﬁlter provides optional settings, select

Filter Options to view the options, or deselect

Filter Options to apply the default ﬁlter settings.

(Filter Options are not available for all ﬁlters.)

Then, double-click the ﬁlter, select the ﬁlter and

click Apply, or drag a ﬁlter into the image.

•

Choose a ﬁlter from the submenus in the Filter

menu. If a ﬁlter name is followed by ellipses (…),

a dialog box appears.

If a dialog box appears, enter values or

select options.

To display the dialog box for the last

ﬁ

lter you

applied, press Ctrl+Alt+F (Windows) or

Command+Option+F (Mac OS).

If the dialog box contains a preview window,

use the following navigation methods to preview

the effect:

•

Click in the image window to center a speciﬁc

area of the image in the preview window.

Note:

This does not work with all preview windows.

•

Drag in the preview window to center a speciﬁc

area of the image in the window.

•

Use the + or – button under the preview window

to zoom in or zoom out on the preview.

A ﬂashing line beneath the preview size indicates

that the preview is still being rendered.

If available, select the Preview option to preview

the ﬁlter effect on the entire image.

Click OK to apply the ﬁlter.

A progress indicator in the status bar (Windows)

or progress bar (Mac OS) lets you gauge the time

remaining until the ﬁlter is applied.

Loading images and textures

To produce their effects, some ﬁlters load and use

other images, such as textures and displacement

maps. These ﬁlters include the Conté Crayon,

Displace, Glass, Lighting Effects, Rough Pastels,

Texture Fill, Texturizer, Underpainting,

and Custom.
