Smart Filters
About Smart Filters
Any filter applied to a Smart Object is a Smart Filter. Smart Filters appear in the Layers panel below the Smart Object
layer to which they are applied. Because you can adjust, remove, or hide Smart Filters, they are nondestructive.
You can apply any Photoshop filter (that have been enabled to work with Smart Filters)—except for Extract, Liquify,
Pattern Maker, and Vanishing Point—as a Smart Filter. In addition, you can apply the Shadow/Highlight and Variations
adjustments as Smart Filters.
To work with Smart Filters, select a Smart Object layer, choose a filter, and then set filter options. After you apply
a Smart Filter, you can adjust, reorder, or delete it.
To expand or collapse the view of Smart Filters, click the triangle next to the Smart Filter icon, displayed to the right
of the Smart Object layer in the Layers panel. (This technique also shows or hides Layer Style.) Or, choose Layers panel
Options from the Layers panel menu, then select Expand New Effects in the dialog box.
Use filter masks to selectively mask Smart Filter effects. See Mask Smart Filters.

Filter Gallery
Filter Gallery overview
The Filter Gallery provides a preview of many of
the special effects filters. You can apply multiple filters,
turn on or off the effect of a filter, reset options for a
filter, and change the order in which filters are applied.
When you are satisfied with the preview, you can then
apply it to your image. Not all filters in the Filter menu
are available in the Filter Gallery.
Some of Photoshop’s filters are available only in the Filter
Gallery. Some of Photoshop’s filters are available only
from the drop-down “Filter” menu. A few of Photoshop’s
filter groups contain filters from both of these catego-
ries. Here is a list of the filter groups that include filters
that are in both the Filter Gallery as well as the “Filter”
drop-down menu. This list also names filter groups that
contain filters only attainable from the Filter Gallery.

Digimark Filters
The Digimarc filters embed a digital watermark

Note: Digimarc plug-ins require a 32-bit
operating system. They are unsupported in
64-bit versions of Windows and Mac OS.

Filter Gallery Artistic
Filters from the Artistic submenu help you achieve painterly and artistic effects for a fine arts or commercial project. For
example, use the Cutout filter for collages or typography. These filters replicate natural or traditional media effects. All
the Artistic filters can be applied through the Filter Gallery.

Filter Gallery Distort
The Distort filters geometrically distort an image,creating 3D or other reshaping effects. Note that these filters can
be very memory-intensive. There are 9 additional Distort filters that are available from the regular “Filter”
drop-down menu.
Sharpen Filters
The Sharpen filters focus blurred images by increasing the contrast of adjacent pixels.

Noise Filters
The Noise filters add or remove noise, or pixels with randomly distributed color levels. This helps to blend a selection
into the surrounding pixels. Noise filters can create unusual textures or remove problem areas, such as dust and scratches.
Video Filters
The Video submenu contains the
Noise Filters De-Interlace
and NTSC Colors filters.
De-Interlace Smooths moving images captured
on video by removing either the odd or even
interlaced lines in a video image.
You can choose to replace the discarded
lines by duplication or interpolation.
NTSC Colors Restricts the gamut
of colors to those acceptable for
television reproduction, to prevent
oversaturated colors from bleeding
across television scan lines.

Brush Stroke
Like the Artistic filters, the Brush Stroke filters
give a painterly or fine-arts look using different
brush and ink stroke effects. Some of the filters
add grain, paint, noise, edge detail, or texture.
All the Brush Stroke filters can be applied
through the Filter Gallery.
Filter GallerySketch
Filters in the Sketch submenu add texture to images, often for a 3D effect. The filters also are useful for creating a
fine-arts or hand-drawn look. Many of the Sketch filters use the foreground and background color as they redraw
the image. All the Sketch filters can be applied through the Filter Gallery.
Render
Filters
The Render filters
create 3D shapes,
cloud patterns,
refraction patterns,
and simulated light
reflections in an
image. You can also
manipulate objects in
3D space, create 3D
objects (cubes, spheres
,and cylinders), and
create texture fills
from grayscale files to
produce 3D like
effects for lighting.

Stylize Filters
NOTE: There is 1 stylize filter in the Filter Gallery
The Stylize filters produce a painted or impressionistic
effect on a selection by displacing pixels and by finding and
heightening contrast in an image. After using filters like Find
Edges and Trace Contour that highlight edges, you can apply
the 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.

Adaptive Wide Angle Filter
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adaptive-wide-angle-filter.html
Use the Adaptive Wide Angle filter to correct lens distortions due to using wide angle lenses. You can quickly
straighten lines that appear curved in panoramas, or photos taken with fish-eye and wide angle lenses. For example,
buildings seem to be leaning inwards when captured using awide-angle lens. The filter detects the camera and lens
model and uses the lens characteristics to straighten the images. You can add multiple constraints to indicate straight
lines in different parts of the picture. Using this information the Adaptive Wide Angle filter, removes the distortions.

Lens Correction
Lens Correction Filter
Correct lens distortion and adjust perspective
The Lens Correction filter fixes common lens flaws such as barrel and pincushion distortion, vignetting, and chromatic
aberration. The filter works only with 8‑ and 16‑bit-per-channel images in RGB or Grayscale mode.You can also use the
filter to rotate an image or fix image perspective caused by vertical or horizontal camera tilt. The filter’s image grid
makes these adjustments easier and more accurate than using the Transform command.
Vanishing Point Filter
The Vanishing Point feature preserves correct
perspective in edits of images that contain perspective
planes (for instance, the sides of a building
or any rectangular object).

Blur Filters
The Blur filters soften a selection or an entire
image, and are useful for retouching. They smooth
transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard
edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
Note: To apply a Blur filter to the edges of a layer,
deselect the Lock Transparent Pixel option in
Layers panel.
Average Finds the average color of an
image or selection, and then fills the image
or selection with the color to create a
smooth look. For example, if you select
an area of grass, the filter changes the area
into a homogeneous patch of green.

Liquify Filter
Liquify filter overview
The Liquify filter lets you push, pull, rotate,
reflect, pucker, and bloatany area of an image.
The distortions you create can be subtle or
drastic which makes the Liquify command a
powerful tool for retouching images as well as
creating artistic effects. The Liquify filter can be
applied to 8‑bits-per-channel or 16‑bits
per-channel images.
NOTE: Photoshop online help for liquefy is
incorrect. Mirror and turbulence have been removed in CS6.
