camera lens to create visual effects. Adobe 
Photoshop Elements provides filters you 

can use to simulate photographic effects and to 
create visual effects beyond the bounds of tradi-
tional photography.

such as impressionistic or mosaic effects, lighting 
effects, and distortions. You can also create your 
own effects using the Custom filter, or you can 
install plug-in filters sold by non-Adobe software 
developers.
