Filters of the group Distort Ocean Waves When you apply the Ocean Waves filter, ripples appear on the image, as if the image were a reflection in water. The default settings for this filter make this image look less like

Filters of the Stylization group In the Stylization group in the filter gallery window there is a single filter – Edge Glow. This filter analyzes the image, determines contrasting boundaries in it and creates “luminous” lines along these boundaries. After processing

Filters of the Texture group The Texture group contains filters that allow you to overlay an image on a textured

Filters of the Strokes group The Strokes group contains filters of different effects. It’s better for you to see for yourself how the filters of this group work, since it’s not so easy to describe them in words. You can use these filters to decoration photos and

Filters of the Sketches group Filters of the Sketches group are similar in their action to filters from the Simulation group. They are also intended for artistic decoration of images and giving them a special style. Let's look at just a few filters from this

Filters of the Blur group The Blur group (Filter? Blur) contains filters for reducing the sharpness of the image. Blurring can be used, for example, to correct a photo that is too grainy, but also to stylize the image, for example, to blur the background or

Filters of the Sharpness group Now let's look at filters that create the opposite effects. If the filters of the Blur group are designed to weaken the sharpness of the image, then the filters of the Sharpness group, on the contrary, are designed to increase the sharpness of the image. It should be noted that

Filters of the Rendering group The filters of the Rendering group are very different. They are combined into one group because they generate a new image. The rendering (visualization) of a picture or frame is precisely what is called rendering. Highlight If you have used a camera or video camera in

Filters of the Stylization group The filters of the Stylization group are also interesting. Note that some of them are contained in the filter gallery window, and some have their own settings dialog boxes or are applied without any settings at all. We will note only two

Filters of the Noise group Add Noise A filter that adds noise to the image. The main filter of this group. It is indispensable when creating textures and in many other cases. An important quality The Add Noise filter is that the intensity of the noise is determined

Filters of the Render group (Lighting) Clouds (Clouds) This is a fairly simple filter that does not even have a settings window. It creates some formations that are very similar to clouds. The color scheme of the clouds is determined from those set on this moment Foreground Color and

Digimarc Embed Watermark Group Filters With this filter, you can secure your copyright on an image by adding a watermark. A watermark is a special noise invisible to the eye that is added to an image and carries information

The filters in this set produce effects that look more like drawings than brush paintings.

A sketch is a preliminary or unfinished visual and graphic document. Sketches are made without the use of drawing tools, without exact adherence to scale, but with the depiction of the necessary views, sections, sections, with dimensions and other explanations.

All filters in this group have dialog boxes that are very similar to the dialog boxes Filter Gallery(Filter Gallery).

This group includes a rather varied set of filters. All of them are characterized by the fact that they turn a color image into monochrome, using the foreground and background colors of the document. It is recommended to set the default colors before applying these filters unless you are going for a special effect. Filters of this group are in the list Sketch(Sketch) menu Filter(Filter).

Basically, the described filters are good for preparing drawings for printing and provide a good way to turn a full-color image into a two-color one (not necessarily black and white). These filters are useful for creating stylized designs.

Filter Bas Relief

Filter Bas Relief(Bas-relief) changes the image, offering it in the form of a bas-relief, i.e. a convex image various items made of plaster, clay, kaya, metal, etc. Has parameters Detail(Detailing), Smoothness(Mitigation) and Light(Light). You can also say that the filter Bas Relief(Bas-relief) creates a minting effect.

Filter Chalk & Charcoal

Serves to simulate working with coal and chalk. Filter Chalk & Charcoal(Chalk and Charcoal) changes the image, presenting it in black and white, produces a three-color image. The third color is neutral gray, so you need to select the first two colors so that they are in harmony with the third. Has parameters Charcoal Area(Coal), Chalk Area(Chalk) and Stroke Pressure(Pressure). Convenient for converting photos into black and white drawing(Fig. 12.24).

and after applying the filter Chalk & Charcoal(b)

Filter Charcoal

Filter Charcoal(Coal), just like the previous filter, changes the invention, presenting it in black and white, but has the ability to more creatively change parameters such as: Charcoal Thickness(Intensity), Detail(Detailing) and Light/Dark Balance(Tone balance). Using a filter Charcoal(Coal) produces a two-color pattern.

Filter Chrome

Filter Chrome(Chrome) changes the image to appear chrome.

Has parameters Detail(Detailing) and Smoothness(Smoothing).

Filter Conte Crayon

Filter Conte Crayon(Magic pencil) has such a wonderful name because it controls the presentation of the grayscale image using many parameters, one of which is Foreground Level(Pad Plan Level) and Background Level(Background level). Filter Conte Crayon(War Pencil), in addition to controlling the colors and detail of the image, controls the choice of texture.

Filter Graphic Pen

Filter Graphic Pen(Ink) transforms an image into a combination of fine strokes of a primary color against a background color, creating a beautiful result. You can change the length, direction of the stroke and the threshold of the main color (make the drawing lighter or darker). How a color photograph was transformed with this filter into a black and white ink drawing is shown in Fig. 12.25.

Filter Halftone Pattern

Filter Halftone Pattern(Halftone pattern) turns the original photo into a kind of raster grid, dividing it into raster dots.

Filter Note Paper

Filter Note Paper(Mailpaper) turns a photo into relief, also reducing the image to a halftone representation - a relief design on notepaper or wallpaper.

Filter Photocopy

Filter Photocopy(Photocopy) deliberately coarsens the photographs. Unlike those described above, it acts more subtly and preserves some of the halftones of the photograph. The dialog box allows you to change settings such as Detail(Detailing) and Darkness(Darkness).

Filter Plaster

Filter Plaster(Gypsum) turns a photo into a smooth "plaster" relief, also reducing the image to a halftone representation.

Filter Reticulation

Filter Reticulation(Reticulation) also coarsens photos, similar to the previous ones, but adds grain to the result. Reticulation is the formation of a network structure of the emulsion layer.

Filter Stamp

Filter Stamp(Stamp) deliberately coarsens the photographs, giving them the appearance of log engraving.

This filter is often used to turn an image into a black and white conventional drawing. In Fig. 12.26 you can see how you can pour a linocut from a simple photograph.

Filter Torn Edges

Filter Torn Edges(Ragged Edges) also roughens up the photos. This filter does the same thing as Stamp(Stamp), but at the same time it still creates an uneven outline.

Filter Water Paper

Filter Water Paper(Wet Paper) allows you to preserve the colors of a photo and transform the image into a watercolor painted on textured paper.

Those who use Photoshop version CS5 (or earlier) are accustomed to the fact that in the menu tab Filters The entire list of available filters is presented. In general, it is convenient to quickly navigate to and use them. With the arrival of the next version, Photoshop CS6, this menu was changed, which led to confusion and created confusion among users. The fact is that a number of filters from this menu have disappeared completely.

List of filters in Photoshop CS5:

Changed list of filters in Photoshop CS6:

As you can see, the following groups have disappeared without a trace: Imitation (Artistic), Texture (Texture), Strokes (Brush Strokes) and Sketch (Sketch). In addition to this, a number of individual filters from the remaining groups were also removed.

But don’t panic; in fact, the filter group data hasn’t disappeared anywhere. Yes, they are not in the main menu, but from Filter galleries no one cleaned them up! Thus, to apply them, you must first go to Filter - Filter Gallery(Filter Gallery). A familiar dialog box will open in which you will find what you were looking for:

(Click to enlarge)

As you can see, all the missing filters are present here and you can still use them. But the next problem appeared regarding smart objects and their smart filters.

Smart objects and filter gallery in Photoshop CS6

Let's say we have one and we need to apply a filter to it.

If we select from those filters that are displayed in the menu, then there are no problems - we see their names and understand what we have applied.

But if you need to use filters from the missing list, that is, through the Gallery, then we see that Photoshop does not write their names!

Agree, this is extremely inconvenient. Let's say we used only one Application, we can still remember this. What if we add another filter? And then another one? Firstly, you can forget not just the names, but also in what order they were. Secondly, you return to this project in a week or even transfer the PSD file to another person, what then?

Of course, you can click through them in order, opening a window with filter settings and thereby understanding what it is. But this is so inconvenient... It slows down the speed of work...

Okay, I got carried away with escalating this problem. The developers left us the right to choose and how to fix everything.

Restoring missing filters in CS6

So, to return the missing filters in the menu to their previous form, you need to go to Photoshop settings: Editing(Edit) — Installations(Preferences) — External modules(Plug-Ins).

In the settings window that opens, check the box next to the setting Show all groups and filter gallery names(Show all Filter Gallery groups and names).

After this, you need to apply the changes and restart Photoshop.

Now the missing filter groups will return to the menu, which means that in smart objects they will, like the others, show their name.

If you notice an error in the text, select it and press Ctrl + Enter. Thank you!

We continue to study filters in Photoshop. In this article we will look at the filters from the package Sketch. So let's go to the menu Filter - Filter Gallery.
