PhotoPlus special effects let you transform your images.
You can create abstract or surrealistic art, design wild
and colorful patterns, or turn portraits into zany
caricatures. Go ahead and experiment—that’s the best
way to learn about special effects.
Follow these steps:
1
Select the area you want to transform, or make sure
no area is selected if you want to change the entire
image.
2
Click the Effects Browser button
or choose

from the Effects menu. The Effects Browser

enlarged in the Before and After windows, click the
Pan Mode box.

Choose the effect you want.
5
Slide the Intensity control to increase or decrease
the intensity of the special effect.
