Tone – can be used to adjust the highlight, midtones, and shad-
ow of the selected layer.
It offers more control than Brightness/Contrast.
Blur – decreases the contrast between adjacent pixels, creating a
fuzzy effect over the entire layer.
Sharpen – pixelates the entire layer, eliminating smoother edges
in the image.
Equalization – 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.
Negative – inverts the grayscale or color brightness values for
the entire layer. This will make your image look like a photograph-
ic negative.
