Paint Shop Pro 7 Effects Menu |
| |
| The
Effects menu allows you numerous choices for altering
graphics from Photo enhancing to deformations and
artistic effects. |
|
|
Viewing Options
• Zoom 1:1 - The left magnifying glass zooms out on a
graphic, the right zooms in. The cross-hair graphic in
the middle will pop up a rendering of your graphic with
a "thumbnail" selection under the cursor. You move can
then move the selection to a different part of the
graphic and that part will be rendered in the preview
window.
• Auto Proof/Proof - The eye symbol proofs the effect
directly on the image. The down arrow locks Auto Proof
so that it automatically proofs on the image. |

Effects Browser
The Effects Browser allows you to preview most the
effects available from this menu at their default
settings. It does not allow you to preview any of the
Enhance Photo menu items. |

Blur
Average, Gaussian and Motion Blur all give you an
Control panel where you can adjust the level of the
blurs. The remaining blur options apply a default
setting and can't be adjusted.
Sharpen
Sharpen and Sharpen More can't be adjusted, but Unsharp
Mask can be. Unsharp Mask, in my opinion is the "unsung
hero" of Paint Shop Pro. It can often do more to fix a
graphic than any other Paint Shop Pro option.
Unsharp Mask
The Unsharp Mask works by locating adjacent pixels with
the difference in lightness values that you specify, and
then increases their contrast by the amount you select.
• Radius - The radius indicates the number of pixels
around the edge of parts of the image that will be
effected. You should start with a lower radius setting
and move your way up to test the effect.
• Strength - The strength controls the intensity of the
contrast or sharpening effect. Again, start with a low
number and work your way up.
• Clipping - Clipping determines how much contrast two
pixels must have before they are sharpened.
Edge
The Edge effects find the edges of the graphic and
enhance them in various ways. Rather than going over the
results of each edge effect, I suggest you experiment by
opening a photograph and applying each of the effects.
This will give you a visual representation of how the
effect works. The "Trace Contour" effect is fun in that
you can get kind of a "sketch" artistic effect when you
apply it to a photograph.
Noise
Noise refers to random or uniform pixels that give a
graphic a grainy effect. Paint Shop Pro provides filters
to remove noise from graphics and to add noise to a
graphic.
• Add Noise - The Add Noise dialog box allows you to add
noise as random or uniform and to set the percentage of
noise to apply. This is a very handy tool for creating
fine grain backgrounds (see my Fine Grain Background
tutorial).
• Despeckle - This filter is designed to remove spots
from a graphic. It does this by blurring the image
around the spots.
• Edge Preserving Smooth - This filter smoothes an image
without the loss of edge detail in the image. This
filter is often a good starting point when you are
repairing a photograph.
• Median Filter - This filter can also be used to remove
noise and imperfections from an image. It works by
setting the color value of a pixel to the median of the
color values of all the pixels immediately around it.
• Salt and Pepper - This filter removes black and white
specks from an image. It is very useful when you are
touching up old photos.
• Texture Preserving Smooth - This filter works the same
as Edge Preserving Smooth except that it preserves the
texture rather than the edge detail. [...continued in
