Filter Effects with Adobe Photoshop
Filters are used to change the appearance of an image, layer or selection in Photoshop. Filters are mathematical calculations that are applied to an image or a layer. Photoshop filters are grouped into 14 sub-menus.
Using filters from the Filter Gallery is basically a one-stop place for working with special artist filters in your photos. In the Filter Gallery, you can browse through many different types of filters, apply them individually to your image, or even stack them on top of one another like you would with layers. You can get to the Filter Gallery by going to Filter > Filter Gallery. In this project you will explore how filters can be used to change, distort, or manipulate an image. Apply 3 different Filters to a single image and then save it to to your Google Drive folder. Then try 3 different Filters on a different image and save that one as well.
