Filters
The term filter originates from the colored glass covers placed over a camera
lens. The first filters in digital imaging sought to mimic the results of these
physical camera filters, providing a slight shift in color, or increasing the
intensity of colors. But the filters in Digital Image can create many other
effects, from sharpening an image to making the picture look like a painting or
a mosaic.
Three different filters were used on the original picture (upper left): The Colored Pencil filter
(upper right), the Watercolor filter (lower left), and the Film Grain filter (lower right).
To apply a filter:
1. On the Effects menu, point to Filters, and then click a filter.
Filters create a whole new look for your pictures. Many filters make the image
look less like a photograph and more like a drawing, painting, mosaic, or other
hand-created artwork. Filter-enhanced pictures can become an attractive focal
point of projects such as greeting cards and calendars.
Waiting for filters
to be applied
Some filters require
your computer to make
many calculations, so
on a slower computer
they may take a few
minutes to be applied.
