Image Adjustments and Effects 123
It’s possible to apply several filter effects to the same image within the Filter
Gallery, and, depending on the order in which they are applied, to end up with a
different final result. In the above example, the Ripple and Unsharp Mask effects
are sequentially applied.
The large preview window updates as you adjust any filter properties' sliders or
enter new values. To see a different part of the image, drag it with the hand cursor.
Select a magnification level from the lower-left drop-down menu, Alt-drag on the
preview window to zoom to marquee selection area, or use the Alt key with left- or
right-clicking to zoom in/out in increments!
A series of display buttons under your preview window let you preview your
image.
From left to right, you can display in a single window, or either as
portrait/landscape dual-screen or vertical/horizontal split-screen for before and
after views. For further control of your display, use the lower-right Navigator
window to Zoom to Fit, view Actual Size, or incrementally zoom via buttons or
slider. By default, you'll be able to pan around your zoomed-in image with the
hand cursor at any time.
If you would like to manage your filter effects (swap, modify or delete any
previously applied effect) at a later date, you can apply filter effects on a special
Filter Layer (see p. 140). Otherwise the filter effect is permanently applied to the
layer.
