# About photo effects

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.
