INFORMATION ON USING THE EFFECTS


PREVIEW MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE FINAL RESULT
The preview in the Effect Settings dialog box 
corresponds as closely as possible to how the effect 
will look when applied to the entire image or 
selection. With some effects and images, there can be 
a discrepancy between the preview and the final 
result. This is because the preview shows the effect 
as it appears on a portion of the image or selection. 
To obtain a better indication of the final result, 
preview several different areas of the image before 
applying the effect to the image.


IF PREVIEW FRAME IS NOT EASILY VISIBLE IN PREVIEW
In rare cases, if you are working with an image 
containing a lot of noise, the preview frame in the 
Effect Settings dialog box may not be easily visible 
in the preview. The preview frame is actually there, 
but may not be easily visible because of the visual 
interaction with the image in the preview. To move 
the preview frame, move the pointer over the center 
of the preview; the cursor will change to a four-way 
arrow allowing you to move the preview frame.


TEXTURIZING EFFECTS CAN REQUIRE MORE 
MEMORY
The three texturizing effects (Texturizer, Rough 
Pastels, and Underpainting) apply a texture image
in the process of transforming the image. 
Consequently, they can require a bit more memory
than the other effects. This is especially so 
when using your own textures.


ADDITIONAL TEXTURES FOR TEXTURIZING EFFECTS
The three texturizing effects (Texturizer, Rough 
Pastels, and Underpainting) apply a texture 
image in the process of transforming the image. 
These effects include several textures to choose
from in the Type pop-up menu in the Texture 
Controls dialog box.

You can use the textures within the TEXTURES 
directory by choosing TIFF File from the Type 
pop-up menu. The TEXTURE.ART directory contains 
a sampling of FREE textures from Gallery Effects: 
Texture Art--a library of 125 photographic-quality
textures of materials and surfaces with 
software for automatically applying them to 
areas of any size or shape. For more 
information or to order Gallery Effects: 
Texture Art, call 1-800-888-6293 extension 2.

INFORMATION FOR ALDUS PHOTOSTYLER(TM) 1.1 USERS


IF YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE PLUG-IN FILTERS
If you cannot access the Gallery Effects plug-in filters from
within PhotoStyler, be sure that you are using PhotoStyler 1.1
or later.


IF AN IMAGE TURNS A SOLID COLOR, WHITE, OR 
BLACK AFTER APPLYING AN EFFECT 
Several effects use PhotoStylers foreground and 
background colors when applying the effect. If both 
the foreground and background colors are the same 
color or both white or black, the image will appear 
that color, white or black when applying one of the 
above three effects. You should make sure that
the foreground color and the background color
are different prior to applying one of these effects.

FOR FRACTAL DESIGN PAINTER(TM) 1.2 USERS

EFFECTS CANNOT BE PERFORMED ON MOVED OR 
PASTED SELECTIONS
If you paste a selection into a document or move an 
existing selection, you can choose an effect but 
nothing happens. To overcome this problem, you 
should deselect the current selection and then reselect it 
prior to choosing an effect.


EFFECTS CANNOT BE APPLIED TO FRISKETS
Even though the effects can be selected from the 
Filter cascading menu when a frisket is present, 
Painter does not apply the effects to the frisket.


FRISKET GETS CREATED AFTER APPLYING AN EFFECT
If you make a selection and apply an effect, Painter 
creates a frisket from the selection. If you want to 
paint as usual, clear or shut off the frisket.


NARROW VERTICAL LINE MAY APPEAR AFTER 
APPLYING AN EFFECT
After an effect is applied on a rectangular selection 
(not the entire image), a vertical line may appear at 
the left edge of the deselected image.
