The Filter Menu
The
Filter Menu
provides numerous tools for significantly changing the artistic styling of
your images.
These transformations work best with very high-resolution images. Sharp focus also im-
proves results. This is an area that you may want to play with.
These filters can totally change the appearance of an image with a single click. Many of
these filters can take an ordinary photo and transform it to an image that looks like a paint-
ing. The transformations are even more impressive when the images are printed on canvas.
After doing a bit of editing to the image above, I used the
Filter Menu
to convert it to an
image that looks like an Oil Painting.
In my experience, people are far more receptive to bright and highly saturated colors in a
painting. If the same color intensity is used in a photo, it looks totally unrealistic.
There are hundreds of ways to alter a photo with the
Filter Menu
— I am only demonstrat-
ing one.
