ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS

Not all of these filters load images or textures in the 
same way. (See “Using the Lighting Effects filter” 
on page 207.)

Use the Filters palette to apply the desired filter, 

or choose the filter from the appropriate submenu 
in the Filter menu.

Choose Load Texture in the Texture pop-up 

menu. Locate and open a texture image. 

All textures must be in the Photoshop format. 
Most filters use only the grayscale information of 
a color file.

Click OK.

The Displace, Shear, and Wave filters in the Distort 
submenu and the Offset filter in the Other 
submenu let you treat areas undefined by the filter 
in the following ways:

Wrap Around fills the undefined space with 

content from the opposite edge of the image.

Repeat Edge Pixels extends the colors of pixels 

along the image’s edge in the direction specified. 
Banding may result if the edge pixels are 
different colors.

Set to Background (Offset filter only) fills the 

selected area with the current background color.

The Conté Crayon, Glass, Rough Pastels, 
Texturizer, and Underpainting filters have textur-
izing options. These options make images appear 
as if they were painted onto textures such as canvas 
and brick or viewed through glass blocks.

Use the Filters palette to apply the desired filter, 

or choose the filter from the appropriate submenu 
in the Filter menu.

For Texture, choose a texture type or choose 

Load Texture to specify a Photoshop file.

Drag the Scaling slider to enlarge or reduce the 

effect on the image surface. 

Drag the Relief slider (if available) to adjust the 

depth of the texture’s surface.

Select Invert to reverse the surface’s light and 

dark colors.

For Light Direction, indicate the direction of 

the light source on the image.

Click OK.
