Applying a Pixelate effect
A pixel is the smallest piece of a digital image, arranged in rows and columns. When you
reduce the resolution of your image, the size of the pixel increases and produces blurring. You
can use the Pixelate effect to increase the size of the pixels in your image, and save your
options as a preset for future use.
To apply a Pixelate effect:
1. On the Edit Panel, click Effects, and then double-click Pixelate.
2. On the Pixelate tab, drag the Width and Height sliders to set the size of the pixels in
your image. Select the Square check box to make the width and height equal.
3. Do one of the following:
x Click Done to accept your changes and close the Pixelate tab.
x Click Cancel to discard your changes and close the tab.
