you could for example apply a check pattern from the PATTERNS folder, a texture from the
TEXTURES folder and a transparency effect from the TRANSPARENCY folder all to the same
photo.
Replacing photos and removing presets
If you drop a replacement photo onto a photo with a filter applied the filter preset will be
maintained. And if you have any existing photo edits in place, for example if you used the
RED EYE tool then the applied filter will merge with these edits too.
When you right-click on a photo, you will see a PHOTO FILTER option in the context menu
that appears. This option has a sub-menu, which allows you to apply filters to your photo
and remove filters that are already applied.
The APPLY FILTER… option opens the CONTENT CATALOG onto the PHOTO FILTER PRESETS
folder so you can apply a filter to the selected photo. Following this option in the menu,
you will see REMOVE options for each of the filters you currently have applied to the
photo, so you can remove any of them.
The final option in the menu allows you to clear all applied filters from the photo.
Editing Photo Filter Presets
Most of the preset filter effects modify the image by adjusting the same settings that you
see in the PHOTO TOOL. Therefore remember that applying an effect may remove any
photo enhancements you have applied manually beforehand, using the PHOTO TOOL.
Similarly if you apply a preset filter and later adjust the settings in the PHOTO TOOL, if you
later remove the preset it may also remove your enhancements.
Similarly, the overlay effects under "OVERLAYS" > "TRANSPARENCY" work by applying
transparency effects to your photo directly. You can see and modify these effects by
selecting your photo and going into the TRANSPARENCY TOOL.
Viewing a scaled photo at its full size
The ZOOM TO 1:1 button on the PHOTO TOOL InfoBar adjusts the zoom so that the selected
image is shown at full size, which is where each pixel of the image is mapped to each
screen pixel. This is useful if you want to edit an image that’s been scaled down on the
page, but want to see it at its full size while you work on it.
