It offers more control than Brightness/Contrast. -Decreases the contrast between adjacent pixels, creating a fuzzy effect over the entire layer. - Pixelates the entire layer, eliminating smoother edges in the image. - Evenly redistributes the grayscale or color values of the pixels in an image. The effects are varied depending on the image, but in general, the lines in the highlight and shadow areas will be sharpened. - Inverts the grayscale or color brightness values for the entire layer. This will make your image look like a photographic negative. Effects: PhotoImpression includes a variety of special effects to transform images in a number of interesting ways. Click on a desired effect to preview it on your image. You can use the Intensity slider to adjust the intensity of the effect. To keep the effect, click Apply. To cancel, choose any other effect or click a different button. Layers: The Layers Palette shows thumbnails of each layer. The currently selected layer will have a highlight around the thumbnail. Toggling the green light above the thumbnail on and off displays and hides the layer, respectively. The slider above the thumbnail adjusts the transparency of the layer. Note: An image can have multiple layers. You can retain separation of the multiple layers of an image only if it is saved as a PSF file. 18
