Operation Manual

190 Working with Pictures
When you apply a filter from one of these tabs, it is temporarily added to the
Trial Zone that displays beneath the filter stack. This lets you preview and adjust
filters before applying them.
Applying filters
1. Select the photo you want to work on. (If the photo is framed,
select it and click Select Cropped Object.)
2. Click PhotoLab on the Photo context toolbar.
3. For ease of use, when you open PhotoLab, the Filters stack on the
right contains some commonly-used filters (such as White Balance
and Lighting). These filters are disabled by default.
To apply one of the default filters, click its Enable/Disable control
to enable it, and then adjust the filter settings by dragging the sliders.
To disable, reset, and delete a filter, see below.
To add a new filter:
1. Browse the filter thumbnails displayed on the Favourites,
Adjustments, and Effects tabs, and click the one you want to apply.
The selected filter is added to the Trial Zone, and the main window
shows a preview of your photo with the filter applied.
2. Experiment with the filter settings in the Trial Zone—you can drag
the sliders, or enter values directly—to suit your requirements. (Note
that some filters also offer check boxes, drop-down menus, and
additional advanced controls.)
3. (Optional) To replace the trial filter, click a different thumbnail.
