Bitmap Effects - Special Effects

The Special Effects dialog box provides various effects that can be applied to bitmaps. For more details, see Applying special effects to bitmaps.

The original bitmap is always shown in the panel on the left, and the proposed result on the panel on the right.

When opened, the dialog box shows, on the left-hand side:

image\BULLET.gif If you opened this dialog box from the Plug-ins button on the Bitmap Gallery, the bitmap you selected in the Gallery.

image\BULLET.gif The currently selected bitmap.

image\BULLET.gif The default bitmap if no bitmap is currently selected.

You can choose a different bitmap using the drop-down list.

Click OK to add the altered bitmap (displayed on the right-hand side) to the Bitmap Gallery. The original bitmap is unchanged.

The altered bitmap replaces any selected bitmaps in the document.
