Effects Setup/Browser

 

 

 

Click on the Image Menu, point the mouse at Effects, then click Effects browser. A dialog allows optional settings for many of the special effects. These effects are only available, if the english PlugIn Effects is installed, which is done at program installation.

 

When you are finished, click OK to close. To exit without any changes, click Cancel.

 

The applied effect after pressing OK can be reversed by the Edit Menu’s Undo command.
