With Filter you can create nice color effects. But as a advanced user you should
know what you wanna do. It is easy to stay hours or even days with this filters. They can keep you busy...

1. Layer: Edge | Negative | Background
Please
open the "Gemüse.jpg" from the volume ARTEFFECT:pictures/. Load this picture as brush with "Pic.->".
Then create two new layers. The first should be called Edge, the second Negativ
and the third should be named already as Background. |
|
2. Layer filter
Activate
the layer Edge and open then the
Edge finder filter. Change it
to Color and Prewitt and execute it. Then change the opacity of this layer to ZERO.
Activate now the layer Negative
and open the Negative filter and execute it for color pictures. For the Background it is necessary to improve the brightness with the Dynamic
range filter. Change the values to Min.=22 and Max.=174. The overlay problem
is, that we get a gray-cover in our picture, we have to deal with. You will get a less contrast of the colors in
your picture, depending how much opacity the single layers have. Try it by yourself with layer 2 and 3. |
|
3. Layer reduction
Now copy the third layer per drag & drop onto the second layer with an opacity
of 50 for the second layer. We compansate the gray-cover with the Color
correction filter, so please open it. Change the values to:
Function
|
Value
|
Brightness |
18 |
Contrast |
104 |
Gamma |
-9 |
Red |
13 |
Green |
8 |
Blue |
-8 |
You can also try other values, but this one are acceptable.

4. Overlay
Now to the "Overlay".
You have done it before - sure. Only a few minutes ago. Now we have to change the opacity of the first layer to
a value between 60 and 80. The only problem left is, that the layer Edge is to dark. We have to lighten it. For this open the Dynamic
range filter again and change the values to Min.=0 and Max.=26. Now you
can see, that the first layer is much better to see in the picture.
That was it... |
