Posterize
Apply a poster effect, reducing the number of bits per color channel. This decreases the number of colors and
levels of lightness in the image or selection. The result is a flatter-looking image with bands of color rather than
smooth gradients.
Apply to a selection or the entire canvas.
To use this tool:
1. To apply effect to a portion of the canvas, drag a selection on the canvas. To apply the effect to the
entire canvas, do not make a selection.
2.
Select Image tab > Modify group > Filters tool > Posterize.
3. Select the level of planes from the menu or click Custom to select a custom effect.
Pixelate
Create a mosaic effect by dividing the image into tiles of a specified size. Apply to a selection or the entire can-
vas.
To use this tool:
1. To apply effect to a portion of the canvas, drag a selection on the canvas. To apply the effect to the entire
canvas, do not make a selection.
2. Select Image tab > Modify group > Filters tool > Pixelate.
3. Select the tile size from the menu or click Custom to select a custom effect.
Solarize
This effect mimics the accidental exposure of photographic film to light, but lets you control the threshold
level. Apply to a selection or the entire canvas.
