• Invert Changes each pixel color to its complimentary color. This is similar to
creating a photograph negative, only without the orange mask present in
film.
• Posterize Adjusts images by reducing the number of tones into a specific
number, with each pixel remapped to the nearest specified level, producing a
dynamic, posterlike effect.
• Color Replacement Allows you to replace selected colors (and similar
variants) With another color of your choice.
• Threshold Separates the image pixels into black or white extreme values.
• Equalize Automatically adjusts your images that are too dark.
• Calculation Merges specified color channels of an image file or files to
produce a new image that shows remarkable depth. When using different
images, both images must have the same pixel dimensions.
• Blur Obscures images by applying haze effects to produce a tranquil or soft
effect. See
"Blur"
• Sharpen Improves overall image by enhancing edges. This gives the image
more depth.
• Noise Adds or removes very small patterns or random pixels that produce
noise.
• Lens Filters Contains effects that enhance images photographically. This
includes most popular camera filters available. See
• Lens Distortion Transforms images by stretching image areas to produce
contortions.
When you choose a command, a dialog box opens displaying sample thumbnails of
the currently active image, object or selection area. Some commands display nine
thumbnails and allow you to move through all possible settings by clicking each
thumbnail accordingly. Other functions have the Dual View and Split View tabs
that allow you to view the original and enhanced images side by side or view the
image with one half of it showing the original and the other half showing the
enhancement applied.
Tips:
• Adjusting a selection area converts it into an object.
• To jump directly to the Options dialog box, select Don't show these quick
samples next time. To show quick samples again, select Display quick
samples in File: Preferences - General - PhotoImpact category.
• You can also adjust the image by selecting presets in the EasyPalette's Effect
Gallery.
