Photo
effects lets you quickly create different looks for your images.
In the Effects palette, click Photo Effects
and
choose one of the subcategories, such as Faded Photo, Misc. Effects,
Monotone Color, or Vintage Photo.
- Frame
-
Apply a variety of effects to the edges of a selected layer,
or to a portion of a layer. A frame also creates a drop zone where
you can add or change the contents easily.
- Image Effects
-
Apply effects to a copy of a selected layer. Adding the Blizzard effect
to an image makes it look like it’s snowing. The Neon Glow effect
turns the image into a dramatic neon picture. You can use Image
effects, such as Oil Pastel or Soft Focus, to soften colors or blur
an image. You can also combine Image effects, but you may be prompted
to flatten layers first.
- Textures
-
Apply texture layers to an image. You can add texture to
a new, blank image as a background, or add a texture to an existing
image. By arranging layers, and working with opacity and other layer
tools, you can create interesting and attractive images.

Many photo effects apply filters with modified
values.
