The 21 filters at a glance

Color looks: Vivid boosts saturation and contrast, Fade mutes colors and lifts the blacks for a matte finish, Warm and Cool shift the color temperature, Vintage gives an aged print, and Duotone maps the tones between your primary and secondary colors. Monochrome: Grayscale, Noir and Sepia. Graphic effects: Invert, Posterize, Threshold and Solarize. Detail: Soft blur, Sharpen, Emboss and Edge detect. Artistic: Pencil sketch, Bloom (a dreamy glow around highlights), Pixelate and Vignette, which darkens the corners to draw the eye to the center.

Stacking and toning down filters

Each filter is one step in the history, and filters stack: Sharpen followed by Vintage, or Warm plus Vignette, builds a look step by step. When a filter is too strong, use Duplicate layer in the Layer menu, apply the filter to the copy and lower that layer’s opacity in the Layers panel until it looks right. Changing the copy’s blend mode, for example to Soft light or Multiply, opens up even more variations without any extra filters.

Filtering part of a photo

Filters apply only inside a selection when one exists. Select the sky with the Magic wand and apply Cool, select a face with Ellipse select and apply Soft blur for a gentle glow, or select everything except your subject with Invert selection in the Edit menu and apply Grayscale for a color-splash effect. Without a selection, the whole layer is filtered. For corrections the filters don’t cover, such as fixing exposure, switch to the Adjust panel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove a filter after applying it?

Yes. Click Undo or press Ctrl/⌘+Z; each filter is a single step, and the history keeps up to 80 steps — fewer on large photos, where memory sets the limit. Filters stacked on top can be undone one by one, in reverse order.

How does the Duotone filter choose its colors?

Duotone uses the primary and secondary colors from the Color panel: dark tones take the primary color, light tones the secondary one. Set both before applying — navy and pale yellow, for instance — and after Undo you can try another pair.

Can I make a photo look like a pencil drawing?

Yes, apply Pencil sketch. For a bolder sketch, increase the contrast in the Adjust panel first. For a drawing with a hint of color, duplicate the layer, apply Pencil sketch to the copy and set its blend mode to Multiply.
