64 Applying Image Effects<br />

Using the Filter Gallery<br />

The Filter Gallery offers a one-stop studio environment for applying single or<br />

multiple filter effects. The gallery hosts sets of filter thumbnails which are<br />

categorized into different effect categories (e.g., Distort, Blur, Sharpen, Edge,<br />

Artistic, Noise, Render, etc.). Thumbnails are shown in expandable categories.<br />

The Filter Gallery offers the following key features:<br />

• Application of individual or multiple filter effects simultaneously.<br />

• Preview window with zoom and pan support.<br />

• Optional Before and After views arranged as tiles or split-screen, both<br />

horizontally and vertically.<br />

You can apply filters via the Filter Gallery in one of two ways:<br />

• permanently to a standard layer.<br />

OR<br />

on a Filter Layer (see p. 58), allowing you to protect your image layer,<br />

as well as manage your filters at a later date.<br />

To view the Filter Gallery:<br />

• Click Filter Gallery on the Photo Studio toolbar.<br />

For some effects hosted on the Effects menu, the Filter Gallery will<br />

automatically be launched with the effect already applied.
