center a specific area of the image. In some filters, you can click in the image to center it where you click. Click the + or – button under the
preview window to zoom in or out.
Filter Gallery overview
The Filter Gallery provides a preview of many of the special effects filters. You can apply multiple filters, turn on or off the effect of a filter, reset
options for a filter, and change the order in which filters are applied. When you are satisfied with the preview, you can then apply it to your image.
Not all filters in the Filter menu are available in the Filter Gallery.
