54 Chapter 2: Working with Bitmaps
To add noise to an image:
1 Select the image.
2 Do one of the following to open the Add Noise dialog box:
■ In the Property inspector, click the Add Effects button, and choose Noise > Add Noise from
the Add Effects pop-up menu.
■ Choose Filters > Noise > Add Noise.
Note: Applying a filter from the Filters menu is destructive; that is, it cannot be undone except
when Edit > Undo is an option. To maintain the ability to adjust, turn off, or remove this filter, apply it
as a Live Effect, as described in the first bulleted option in this step. For more information, see
“Using Live Effects” on page 119.
3 Drag the Amount slider to set the amount of noise.
Values range from 1 to 400. An increase in amount results in an image with more randomly
placed pixels.
4 Select the Color check box to apply color noise. Leave the check box unchecked to apply
monochrome noise only.
5 Click OK.
