ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS

Invert command to outline the edges of a color 
image with colored lines or to outline the edges of 
a grayscale image with white lines. (See “Stylize 
filters” on page 203.)

Give images the appearance of 

depth or substance, or add an organic look. (See 
“Texture filters” on page 205.)

Include the NTSC (National 

Television Standards Committee) Color filter, 
which restricts the gamut of colors to those 
acceptable for television reproduction, and the 
De-Interlace filter, which smooths moving images 
captured on video. (See “Video filters” on 
page 205.)

Let you create your own custom filter 

effects, offset a selection within an image, and 
make quick color adjustments. (See “Other filters” 
on page 206.)

Lets you view a Digimarc 

watermark. (See “Viewing file information” on 
page 31.)

Choose an Artistic filter to replicate natural or 
traditional media effects.

Draws an image using colored 

pencils on a solid background. Important edges 
are retained and given a rough crosshatch 
appearance; the solid background color shows 
through the smoother areas.

Portrays an image as though it were made 

from roughly cut-out pieces of colored paper. 
High-contrast images appear as if in silhouette, 
while colored images are built up from several 
layers of colored paper.

Paints the edges of the image using a 

dry brush technique (between oil and watercolor). 
The filter simplifies an image by reducing its range 
of colors to areas of common color.

Applies an even pattern to the shadow 

tones and midtones of an image. A smoother, 
more saturated pattern is added to the image’s 
lighter areas. This filter is useful for eliminating 
banding in blends and visually unifying elements 
from various sources.

Paints an image in a coarse style using 

short, rounded, and hastily applied dabs.

Adds various types of glows to the 

objects in an image and is useful for colorizing an 
image while softening its look. To select a glow 
color, click the Glow Color box and select a color 
from the color picker.

Lets you choose from various brush 

sizes (from 1 to 50) and types for a painterly effect. 
Brush types include simple, light rough, dark 
rough, wide sharp, wide blurry, and sparkle.

Reduces detail in an image to give 

the effect of a thinly painted canvas that reveals the 
texture underneath.

Coats the image in shiny plastic, 

accentuating the surface detail.
