Antimatter
The Antimatter filter inverts a selection's brightness without
affecting hue and saturation values. This is useful for
creating a contrast effect while retaining the current colors.
Antimatter is a quick and easy way to invert a graphic for a
JavaScript mouseover image, for example.

Bevel Boss
The Bevel Boss filter creates an enormous variety of bevel
and carve shapes. Users can add an embossed look to any
selection, either inside or outside the selection edge --
perfect for quickly creating "buttons" of any shape -- or
create a chiselled effect. The new Bevel Profile Editor
provides users with precise control over the shape of the
bevel or carve effect.

Chrome
The Chrome filter uses reflection maps to create a wide
range of strikingly realistic metallic effects, including gold,
silver, copper and other metals. Reflection maps are
uncompressed TIFF files that are warped around your
selection to create the reflections similar to those seen on
actual metal objects. You can create your own TIFF files to
use as reflection maps, or use one of the variety of reflection
maps we have included with Chrome. The new Bevel Profile
Editor provides precise control over placement of the effect.

Corona
The Corona filter quickly creates solar flares, gaseous clouds
and other astronomical effects, with control over size, color,
stretching, waver and more.
|
Cutout
The Cutout filter recreates the selection as a hole in the
image by adding shadows. Users control the direction,
distance, opacity and more. There are three fill options for
the Cutout effect: making the selection transparent, filling it
with the original image or filling it with any solid color.

Drip
The Drip filter instantly turns text and images into dripping
paintings with 3D-like drops, with control over drip width,
length, tapering, dribble and more.
|
Fire
The Fire filter quickly creates a wide range of fire and
flame-like effects. The new Color Gradient Editor is included
to allow users to choose their own color scheme; users also
have control over flame width, height, tapering, movement,
density and more.

Fur
The Fur filter creates a variety of fur and hair effects: fuzzy
textures, wavy curls, long strands and more. Users control
hair length, density, curliness and more.
|
Glass
The Glass filter creates a layer of clear or colored glass over
your selection by simulating refraction, light filtering and light
reflection. Users also control smoothness, tinting, gradient
shading, bevelling and more.
| 
|
|
Gradient Glow
The Gradient Glow filter can create a variety of realistic
glows around a selection, including complex color gradients
using the new Color Gradient Editor. Sliders control width,
softness, opacity and more.
|
HSB Noise
The HSB Noise filter adds visual noise to a selection by
varying hue, saturation and brightness values, with easy
control over the size and direction of the noise. The new
Fractal Roughness slider adds detail to the Smooth Fractal
and Wrinkled Fractal options.

Jiggle
The Jiggle filter produces a powerful distortion based on
randomly-spaced bubbling. Unlike the Photoshop distortion
filters, Jiggle is not based on a wave pattern, or around a
single axis. Instead, Jiggle yields a more organic distortion,
resulting in a selection that appears as if it is bubbling,
gelatinous or even shattered.
|
Marble
The Marble filter creates a variety of realistic marble
textures, including full control over the color, size and shape
of the rock and vein features. The seamless tiling option
allows you to easily create smoothly patterned marble
backgrounds.

|
Melt
The Melt filter turns up the heat on any image, creating the
appearance of melting, including the pooling of the selection
at the bottom of the melted area. Sliders also control ripple
width and stretch length.
|
Motion Trail
The Motion Trail filter draws a trail from the selection to
create the appearance of rapid movement. Users can easily
control direction, length, taper, opacity and more.
| 
|
|
Shadowlab
The Shadowlab filter easily creates drop shadows and
perspective shadows. Sliders control the shadow direction,
distance from the selection, opacity, color, blurring and
perspective blurring. New In-Preview controls allow for easy,
intuitive placement and shaping of any shadow.
|
Smoke
The Smoke filter creates billowing smoke, haze, fog, fumes
and more. The new Color Gradient Editor is included to
provide a wide variety of color choices for the effect. Users
easily control direction, turbulence, tapering, length, blurring
and more.
| 
|
|
Squint
The Squint filter creates realistic organic blurring by
spreading each pixel in your selection around the edge of a
circle. The result is a blur that closely duplicates the effect
of poor vision, an image projected out of focus or a reflection
in a vibrating mirror.
|
Star
The Star filter quickly creates stars, starbursts and other
regular polygon shapes without the need to import them from
another program or use paths to approximate them. New
In-Preview controls allow for easy, intuitive placement and
shaping of any polygon.
| 
|
|
Swirl
The Swirl filter smears your selection using randomly-placed
whirlpools. The spacing and shape of these whirlpools can be
controlled to achieve an amazing variety of texture effects,
from spirals to crystalline effects and more.
|
Water Drops
The Water Drops filter creates a variety of realistic liquid
shapes and textures in any color, including drops, spills,
spurts and more. Sliders control drop size, coverage, opacity,
refraction, color and more.

Weave
The Weave filter recreates your selection to give it the
appearance of being woven. Users have control over the
width of the strips and gaps that form the weave, as well as
control over what is seen through any weave gaps. Users
