Chapter 10: Applying Filters, Effects,
and Layer Styles
photographer can place filters over a
camera lens to create interesting visual
effects. Adobe Photoshop Elements
provides filters, layer styles, and effects you can use
to enhance your photos, simulate photographic
effects, and create visual effects beyond the bounds
of traditional photography.
Using the Filters, Effects, and
Layer Styles palettes
The Filters, Effects, and Layer Styles palettes let
you view thumbnail examples of each visual effect
and apply a filter, layer style, or effect to your
image. In addition, many filters have specific
options you can access with the Filters palette or
Filter menu.
Working with the Filters, Effects, and
Layer Styles palettes
From any palette, you can choose from a variety of
categories to apply to your images. You can also
change how the categories are displayed on a
palette.
You can combine the different categories of filters,
effects, and layer styles to create unique images
from a simple photograph. For example, you can
create a dramatic look by combining the Outer
Glow category from the Layer Styles palette with
Neon Nights from the Image Effect category in the
Effects palette.
