LESSON 16

18 Select the Background layer in the Layers palette.

19 Select Filter > Filter Gallery (in Photoshop, e ects are called  lters).

20 Open any of the Filter groups and select a  lter.

As shown in the next  gure, that immediately displays how that  lter will work

with your photo.  is is a wonderful and creative tool. Consider using it to create

backgrounds for DVD menus or text.

Note: One very slick feature of the Filter Gallery is its layering window. It’s in the lower

right corner and is highlighted in the next  gure. To add more than one e ect to the

background image, click the New E ect Layer button (bottom right corner next to the trash

can), then click on a di erent Filter.

Photoshop tips for DV productions

Here are a few things to keep in mind when using Photoshop to create or edit graphics

for use in a DV project:

• Keep graphics in layers—Place each element of your image onto a new and separate

layer and don’t  atten images when you are done working on them.  is allows you to

keep your designs editable in case you decide to make changes later.
