Note
The examples on this page show the effects being applied to an entire image. It is easy to restrict the adjustment to a sub-section of the image simply by making a selection. If a selection is active when the effect is run, it will only be applied to the selected region. Areas outside of the active selection will remain unchanged.
Tip
The controls shown in the effect dialogs operate in much the same way; drag the indicator left,
right or in a circular motion (for an angle control).
Typing in a numeric value in the text box or using the up/down arrows beside the text box also
changes the current value.
The keyboard arrow keys can be used to alter the value of a control once it has the focus.
Multiple controls can be used in isolation or combination. If more than one is altered, the
cumulative effect will be shown.
