Adding Effects and Sharpening Video Tutorial

Effects and filters can be used to correct or complement an image or individual layer by changing pixels in a predefined manner, subject to the controls inside the selected effect or filter.  Photoshop Elements has a wealth of these, allowing you maximum control to warp, twist, blur and distort until your heart’s content.

It’s something that every image needs, and every image benefits from.
