Lecture 6 & Chapter 8: Filters


    Firstly, i learned what is filter & how to work with filter gallery. Filter are special tools that allow you to apply special effect to your image. It can be used in several ways, like enhance images, create artwork, add lighting effects, repair damage, improve sharpness and soften harsh details. Filter menu contains: standalone filter that contain one component, primary filter groups & third party filter that has sub menu/options below to choose, and filter group sub menu. The Filter Gallery shows generic previews of the effects of each filters & options for filter effects can be found on the right side of the gallery. You can add more than one filter effect by clicking the New Filter button.
                         
Filter Sub menu                                                                                                                                                           Filter gallery menu


          Secondly, i learned how to combine application of filters with selections to create custom texture. It is a good practice to create a duplicate of a layer before applying a filter to preserve the original pixels.
           

        Finally, i learned how to used the Liquify filter. The Liquify Filter allows you to push pixels around as if they were wet paint. which are wrap turbulence, twirl, twirl, push, mirrow, ccw, pucker, bloat, pixel shift and reflect. The Mesh feature is useful when you’re trying to keep distortion relative to the objects in the original image. The Freeze Mask protects portions of an image from distortion.
