The Filter Gallery


A new addition to Photoshop CS is the Filter Gallery. The Filter Gallery offers a one-stop location for you to apply and manipulate filters. The Filter Gallery not only displays all of the available filters, it also allows you to apply multiple filters to an image.

  1. Open the image to which you would like to apply a filter.

  2. Create a selection if you only want to apply the filter to a particular area of your image.

  3. Click on Filter . The Filter menu will appear.

  4. Click on Filter Gallery . The Filter Gallery window will open. Alternatively, you can select a specific filter from the list in the menu.

Applying Filters

The Filter Gallery enables you to preview, adjust, and apply filters to images. It provides you with generic thumbnail representations of effects so that you can quickly select the filter you would like to apply.

  1. Click on the triangle beside the filter category to display the filters that fall within that category.

    click to expand
  2. Click on the desired filter . A preview of the effect will appear on your image.

  3. Adjust any of the settings for that filter. The changes to the filter will appear as you make the adjustments.

  4. Click on the New Effect Layer button . This will allow you to apply multiple filters to the same image.

    click to expand
  5. Click on the desired filter . A preview of the effect will appear on your image.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have completed adding all the filters to your image.

    click to expand
  7. Click on an effect layer that you would like to delete. It will be selected.

  8. Click on the Delete effect layer button to remove the unwanted layer.

  9. Click on OK . The Filter Gallery will close, and the filtered image will appear in the Photoshop CS window.

Note

If the image doesn't use RGB color or is a bitmapped, indexed, or 16-bit-per-channel image, Photoshop won't allow you to apply a filter to it. See Chapter 15, "Understanding Colors and Channels," to learn more about image color modes.
