Using Special Effects

FotoFinish offers a number of special effects filters that can be used alone or in combination to create dramatic, professional-looking photos.

To apply an effect to your image, choose the Special Effects button in the Wizard Panel, or choose Special Effects from the Image menu.

Special Effects dialog

In the Special Effects dialog, select your effect from the drop-down list at the lower left corner.  FotoFinish will provide a series of thumbnail previews, showing your image with the effect applied in different intensities.  Click on the thumbnail that looks best to you, then click OK.

For more precise control over the effect, click on the More button to reveal a control panel at the bottom of the dialog.
