- Allows all the colors on the same layer to be shifted by the same degree (hue), and adjusts
the intensity of the colors (saturation).

more control than Brightness/Contrast.
-Decreases the contrast between adjacent pixels, creating a fuzzy effect over the entire layer.

varied depending on the image, but in general, the lines in the highlight and shadow areas

image look like a photographic negative.
Effects:
PhotoImpression includes a variety of special effects to transform images in a number of
interesting ways. Click on a desired effect to preview it on your image. You can use the Intensity
slider to adjust the intensity of the effect. To keep the effect, click Apply. To cancel, choose any
other effect or click a different button.
Layers:
The Layers Palette shows thumbnails of each layer. The currently selected layer will have a
highlight around the thumbnail. Toggling the green light above the thumbnail on and off displays
and hides the layer, respectively. The slider above the thumbnail adjusts the transparency of the
layer.
Note: An image can have multiple layers. You can retain separation of the multiple layers of an image
only if it is saved as a PSF file.
