Part VII. Filters and Distortions
Got an image that needs to be sharper or maybe less dusty? How about an image that needs to look like it was wrapped in plastic and then xeroxed on a circa-1970 photocopier? Either way, this is the book that describes the fine-tuning and the folly of filters.
Filters can do wonders in correcting your images, making them look better than the original. And if it's special effects you're interested in, look no further. Filters can make your image look ripped, sprayed, wet, hot — and just about any other adjective you're interested in. The best news is that Photoshop offers Smart Filters — filters that work their magic without damaging your pixels. If distortions are more your thing, you won't be disappointed with the Liquify command, for which image warping, pushing, bloating, and puckering are daily activities.
