Working with Filters in Photoshop CC



1 Watch the video and put the words into the gaps in the text.

In this video we will discuss some basic 1_____ inside Photoshop CC. Filters are like layer styles. They have various types; have effects and 2_____ of effects which you can apply.
There are a number of designers who use filters and work with them very deeply to come up with many 3____ combinations and images. Here I have an image and which I’m going to apply different filters to make it more effective. Look here in the filter 4____, here you have a 5____ of different categories of filters. I suggest that instead of paying attention to the filter names you should apply them one by one and check what they’re really doing with your image because the 6____ of any particular filter is totally dependent upon the image on which you’re working. Here we have “7____”, “distort”, “noise”, “stylize” and many more groups of filters.
The filter gallery is the option where you can see the 8___ of all the effects and filters before we apply them. Look, here is the list of filters which we have seen before in the filter menu. You can also apply the same filter effects from this 9____ list which contains all the filters together in a single 10____. Let’s try some filter effects on our image. Make sure this eye must be on so that we can see the preview effect or every filter effect on the image in the preview panel. Now just click on the filter which you want to apply to the image. You have to 11____ with every filter to find the proper effect for your image, because filters give different outputs for every different image. Let me try the “12____” filter. Here you can see some options to modify the effects of the 13____ filter. See that changing effects in the preview panel when I 14____ these options left and right. Finally, when you’re done experimenting with filters just 15____ OK to apply the final effect to the image. 16____ the difference in our image after we have given it the filter effect in the filter gallery. It has sharpened all of the 17____ and made the image look like it’s painted. Let’s try to make this image more effective. For that let me take a 18___ in layer, here you can see a set of different blur effects. I choose “Gaussian blur”, it will blur the whole image, set  its value around three or four and hit OK. Now change the 19____ if this blurred image to 20____, you can see how the feel of the image’s improved even before we have given any effects to the image.
It was a very dull image, but now the colors and feel of that the image have improved very much. So I hope you got the basic idea of filters and how we can use them and how they can help us to raise our creativity.
