PS filter effect

Photoshop filters can basically be divided into three parts: internal filters, built-in filters (that is, Photoshop’s own filters), and plug-in filters (that is, third-party filters) . Built-in filters refer to filters built into the Photoshop program, with a total of 6 groups of 24 filters. Built-in filters refer to the filters that the Photoshop installation program automatically installs in the pluging directory when Photoshop is installed by default. There are 12 groups of 72 filters in total. Plug-in filters are filters produced for Photoshop by third-party manufacturers in addition to the above two filters. They are not only complete in variety, but also powerful in function. At the same time, their versions and types are constantly being upgraded and updated. That's the point I'm going to make.

According to current incomplete statistics, even if the differences between versions are not taken into account. Photoshop filters are divided into two categories: one is the internal filter, which is the filter that comes with installing Photoshop; the other is the external filter, which needs to be installed before it can be used. Speaking of plug-in filters, what everyone often thinks of are KPT, PhotoTools, Eye Candy, Xenofex, Ulead effect, etc. There are more than 800 third-party filters for Photoshop, large and small. It is these filters with various types and full functions. Mirror makes Photoshop lovers even more obsessed. Due to space constraints, it is impossible to introduce them to you one by one. I will focus on introducing some of the filters that are currently popular and widely used.

There are various effects in filters (destructive filters and corrective filters (including focus, exposure, etc.)). The following is the poster painting + spotlight effect in rendering.

z magnifying glass, x to switch the foreground and background color, d to use the default foreground and background color, q to use quick mask. ctrl +d cancels selection.

Flame word effect

Sometimes when you open the filter, you will find that some effects cannot be used. This is to take a look at the image----Mode . (Some filters in cmyk and lab cannot be used).

The puzzle effect is made with textures.

Outline is always an important part of PS, using general methods or channels or extraction filters.

The extraction filter has been removed in CS4 and CS5, but you can also download it yourself and add it, replacing it with "Adjust Edge".

After using the filter, you can adjust the opacity and mode of the filter in Edit - Fade (ctrl + shift + f) (last filter name).

Reuse the last filter as ctrl+F

Use the last filter ctrl+shift+F

After opening it, press alt to cancel and reset. The magnifying glass is ctrl or alt at this time, not the z key. There will also be a prompt in the right information box
