User's Manual

Pointillist: Users can create images that mimic the Pointillist art style, which resembles an Impressionist wor k
of art.
Scraperboard: This effect renders images in a scraperboard art style, producing dramatic black-and-white or
color images.
Sketch Pad: The Sketch Pad effect gives images the appearance of a pencil sketch. Users can choose between a
range of techniques, from Rough to Fine. Also, users can determine the desired lead type, from 6H t o 6B, or
choose a colored pencil with pressure values.
Watercolor: The Watercolor effect renders images in a watercolor painting style. This effect provides settings
that let users customize the watercolor painting technique, from loose to fine, and from opaque to washed.
Users can also determine the amount of paper granulation.
Water Marker: This effect gives images the appearance of a water marker art style. Users can choose between a
range of techniques, all of which produce vibrant, colorful artwork.
Wave Paper: This effect makes images appear as though they have been painted on wave paper. This produces a
dabby painting style on a subtle wave-textured paper.
Color Adjustment Effects
Deinterlace: The Deinterlace effect reduces even or odd horizontal lines from scanned or interlaced video
images.
Desaturate: The Desaturate effect automatically reduces the saturation of each color to zero, removes the hue
component, and converts each color to its grayscale equivalent. This creates a grayscale image with out
changing the color mode.
Level Equalization: Level Equalization lets users adjust shadow, midtone, and highlighted areas by redistributing
shades from darkest to lightest, preserving shadow and highlight detail.
Replace Colors: The Replace Colors dialog box replaces one image color with another color.
Selective Color: Users can perform color modifications with the Selective Color dialog box. Color modification is
accomplished by increasing and decreasing the percentage of the magenta, yellow, and black pixels t hat make
up each primary color in the spectrum.
Tone Curve: The Tone Curve effect performs color corrections similar to Level Equalization. However, users
have more precise local control over individual values in relation to all other values. Users can d efine their
own response curves or select from a number of presets.
Sample/Target Balance: The Sample/Target Balance dialog box lets users perform color correction by shifting
color values from a sample color to a target color selected from a color model. Users can apply
Sample/Target Balance on three levels: from the low-point (shadow), mid-point (midtones), and high- point
(highlights).
