One of the main benefits of using Macphun software is a large collection of presets that help show you the potential the software has. How do you find and create presets in FX Photo Studio? In this movie, author Richard Harrington will demonstrate where to find presets in Macphun’s FX Photo Studio and how to create custom presets.
- One of the main reasons to use FX Photo Studio…is for effects, so let's start there.…Now, you might notice that you have…both a filter and a frame applied.…You can always go back to Frames, click on a frame,…or click again to turn it off.…In this case, I'll start with no frame.…Jumping over to Effects,…there's a load of presets to choose from.…These are easily organized into categories.…In the film strip, you can see all effects…if you'd like to simply audition everything.…
You can click on one effect,…and then just use the arrow keys to step through.…Each of these effects have minimal controls,…but they're designed to be fast and easy.…So, if you find something you like,…you have the ability to adjust things.…Like, the contrast, and the grain structure here.…Step to the next effect and you'll see…that it has just a single control.…These are meant to be fast and quick,…not fine controls.…Now, for me, I generally prefer to step in here…and narrow the category.…
Maybe I want to simulate art.…In this case, I can go ahead…
