68 Image Adjustments and Effects

Each effect can be applied in one of several ways:

via dialog, on a filter layer. (Non-destructive).

via the Filter Gallery on a filter layer. (Non-destructive).

via dialog, on a standard layer. (Destructive).

Equally dramatic effects can be applied by using Warp tools on the Tools

toolbar's flyout or 2D/3D layer effects via the Layers tab.

As with image adjustments (see Overview: adjusting image colors on

p. 51), you can use filter effects to improve the image, for example by

sharpening, but more often the emphasis here is on the "creative"

possibilities when effects are applied.

Using filter layers

If you apply a filter effect to a

standard or background layer, the

layer is permanently altered.

However, if you want the flexibility

of being able to edit your filter

effects at any point in the future

(and don't want to destroy the

layer contents) you can convert

your standard or background layer

to a Filter Layer (e.g., L_213).

Think of a Filter Layer as a way of keeping layer content independent of any

filters you wish to use, with the flexibility of being able to manipulate a filter

layer in the same way as other layers. Otherwise without filter layers, you would

have to repeatedly undo your operations if you've had a rethink and no longer

want to apply a specific filter.

When applied, filters are created within filter groups, nested individually under

the Filter Layer. When you double-click a filter you display its specific settings.

You can apply a blend mode and opacity to each filter, and additionally filter

masking to the filter group.

For added security, it's good practice to create a duplicate of any

background layer you initially have.
