Filters
Filters in Photoshop are an essential tool for designers,
photographers, and digital artists, allowing them to modify and
enhance images in a variety of ways. By applying different
algorithms to images or selections, filters can create unique
effects, repair imperfections, and transform the overall
appearance of a piece.

image will look if you apply various filters. It’s

Distort
Categories These filters create geometric patterns based on your image,
including ripple, twirl, and zigzag effects.
Render
These filters let you add cloud patterns, fiber patterns, and lens
flares, and adjust your image’s lighting.
Noise
This category includes filters that can help smooth areas of your
image that don’t blend well, fix dust and scratches in photos, and
remove graininess. You can also use these filters to add grain to
give your image more texture and depth.
Artistics
Artistic filters offer a range of creative effects, such as paint
strokes, sketching, and more. By applying these filters, we can
transform our images into various artistic styles and achieve
impressively dynamic results.
Pixelate
These filters convert images or selections into groups of
geometric shapes and patterns.
Understanding
Layer Masks
Layer masks in Photoshop allow us to non-
destructively hide parts of a layer without
deleting any pixel information. By adding a layer
mask, we can paint in black to hide or white to
reveal specific areas, making our editing
process more flexible.
Utilizing
Smart Objects
Smart Objects are special layers containing
image data from raster or vector images, like
Photoshop or Illustrator files. Converting a layer
into a Smart Object allows us to apply non-
destructive effects like smart filters and
transformations without losing image quality.
