Getting the Most From Your Effects

Paint Shop Pro 7 comes with a whole slew of effects, but many of us, yours truly included, get caught up in a fever to download as many third party filters as we can conceivably find. Let's take a step back for a second and see what Jasc has provided for us, and just what we can do with it.

There are 97 effects found on the menu bar under Effects, (bet you didn't know there were that many effects in there, did you. I know I was impressed when I counted them). I won't begin to cover all of the effects, but instead will look at just a couple, and what you can do with them when you add a little creativity to the mix.

One of the most interesting effects IMHO, is the Light effect. Yes, it can be used to highlight, spotlight, and look like a three ring circus, but did you know it can restore under-exposed photos?

My second favorite effect is the Feedback. Alone, it can make an interesting graphic, or it can make a mess. But what can it do when you make a selection? Read on to find out!
