Image Adjustments and Effects 125
To add further filter effects, use the button again, right-click another
effect thumbnail (choosing Add Filter), or just Alt-click on the thumbnail (just
clicking will replace the currently selected effect).
Clicking a thumbnail will replace any currently selected filter in your filter
stack.
To switch a filter on or off:
• To switch a selected filter effect off, click the icon next to its name in the
Filter Stack. The icon changes to a closed eye. Click again to switch on.
As an example, a click on the Diffuse Glow filter (below) will hide the effect,
but clicking the Paper Cutout's closed eye icon will make the filter visible.
The effect's properties are displayed by default but can be collapsed to make more
of your effects stack visible.
To collapse/expand filter properties:
• To collapse, click the button preceding the filter effect name. To expand
again, click the button.
The properties of any selected effect will be displayed in the expanded area under
the effect name—you can alter and experiment with these at any time.
To modify a filter:
• Select the filter you wish to modify, expanding the filter entry to view
properties if needed (click the button).
• Change properties by enabling/disabling radio buttons or check boxes, and
adjusting sliders. Alternatively, enter values into input boxes.
• Use the Undo button to undo the most recent change to the filter (or
the Redo button to re-apply the changes).
