Instructions

​

There are two basic modes of the program (statuses):

• Editing mode for the existing images. All functional features of the program are available here;

• Creating new images mode (filter application). Some features are locked in this mode. For instance, you can’t turn off the filter.

 

Note: there are other modes, but they are hardly noticeable for the user.

 

Filter application

​

In order to apply the filter (add the image):

1. Select the image in the history tree.

2. In the filter tree select the filter. The program will transfer you to the new image creating mode. In order to cancel (i.е. change to editing mode) click “Cancel” No.3 (see Pic.4) or select a different image in the history tree.

3. Edit the input parameters in the settings window and (or) with the help of markers in the graphic area.

4. Click “Create” No.2 (see Pic.4).

 

ATTENTION!

THE EDITED IMAGE WILL BE THE LAST IMAGE (NOT THE SELECTED ONE) THAT HAD BEEN CHECKED.

THE NEW IMAGE WILL BE ADDED AT THE END OF THE LIST OF THE DERIVATIVES.

         

          5. You may change the order if you need to, re-name the image, etc. as mentioned in the “History tree window” section.  

 

Specific aspects of some filters application.

Application of most filters is intuitive and self-explanatory.

There are specific aspects to some of the filters.
