Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding a filter to an image, part of Photos for OS X: Enhancing Images.
- For most of the adjustments today,…I tended to stick with the adjust category.…This allowed for finer control,…both automated and manual adjustments.…But if you're looking for some quick recipes,…there is the filters category.…This allows you to make some quick looks…without having to do a lot of effort.…Let's take this image here and double click…to open it and choose Edit.…Now I still recommend that you click…the Enhance button before you run a filter.…And depending upon the image,…it may not make much of an adjustment.…
This was a very subtle adjustment to the image in this case.…Next, you can go to the Filters category,…and these actually match the filters…that are available on your iPhone.…You can click on the thumbnail of each…to see what's happening,…and this gives you some very quick looks.…For example, Fade represses the color…but still preserves the original tones.…Chrome really boosts everything…and Process gives it a heavy color tint.…These allow you for quick looks.…
And as you'll notice here, you can go through a wide range.…
