Applying Filters

You can apply filters to an image in a picture frame to adjust them for printing. This saves time so that you don’t have to apply such filters in iPhoto or other image editors. Shown below is the Filters floating window that can be access via the “Images” menu.
To apply a filter, open the Filters window and then click on a picture in a picture frame and the filters will become active. The following filters are available.
Bias
Blur
Brightness
Contrast
Crystallize
Desaturate
Diffuse
Emboss
Normalization
Oil Paint
Pixelate
Saturation
Sepia
Sharpen
Smooth
Equalize
Exposure
Gamma
Gain
Gray Scale
Hue
Invert
Lightness
When you apply a filter it works on the current state of the image in the Filters window. To apply a filter, select the filter from the popup menu such as “Blur” or “Contrast” and then manipulate the controls that appear just below the popup menu. You may apply as many filter operations to the image as you wish and they will build upon the last filter operation. When you are satisfied with the results, click on the “Apply” button to send it back to the main window.

You can view a different portion of the preview image by click and dragging the image to the spot you want to see.

Button Definitions:

Reset All - Restore the image within the Filters window (removes all effects).
Apply - Sends the current state of the filtered image back to the main window.

Resetting an Image

If for some reason you don’t like the current results of what you have done to a picture, you can reset the image back to the first state when you originally dropped it into the picture frame. You can do this through the contextual menu item “Reset Image” or through the “Reset Image” item from the “Image” menu after you have selected the picture frame.
