ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 4.0 187 User Guide Render filters Create 3D shapes, cloud patterns, refraction patterns, and simulated light reflections. Sharpen filters Focus blurry images by increasing the contrast of adjacent pixels. Sketch filters Add texture for a 3D effect or hand-drawn look. Stylize filters Produce a painted or impressionistic effect by displacing pixels and heightening contrast. Texture filters Give the appearance of depth or substance, or add an organic look. Video filters Restrict the gamut of colors to those acceptable for television reproduction, and smooth moving images captured on video. Other filters Let you create your own filter effects, modify masks, offset a selection within an image, and make quick color adjustments. Plug-in filters Represent filters developed by non-Adobe software developers. Digimarc filter Lets you read a Digimarc watermark. See also "About filters" on page 183 "To apply a filter" on page 185 Filter Gallery The Filter Gallery (Filter > Filter Gallery) lets you apply filters cumulatively, and apply individual filters more than once. You can also rearrange filters and change the settings of each filter you've applied to achieve the effect you want. Because you can apply more than one filter to an image when you use the Filter Gallery dialog box, you have a lot of control over the way your image is affected by each filter. The Filter Gallery is often the best choice for applying filters because it's flexible and easy to use. A B C Applying filters through the Filters Gallery A. Original photo B.
