Adding filters

To add filters to a slide, select the slide in the storyboard panel and then select the 'Filters' tab option on the left.

Filters are a group of effects that can be applied to a slide. When they are applied, the whole slide will be effected by them.

The filter effects include things like:- Adjust brightness/contrast, add a lens-blur, apply an old film overlay, or blend the slide with some pattern.

The top panel shows all the 'Available filters' in the PhtotoVidShow editor.

To preview a filter effect, left click on the filter option in the top panel. The preview panel on the right will then show the currently selected slide with that effect applied to it.

To add the filter effect to the slide, left click on the 'Add filter' button. This will also add the filter effect to the 'Current filters' panel at the bottom.

Some filters have addition settings. E.g. see the blur effect in the top picture. These additional options only apply to the currently selected filter.

To select a filter in the slide, left click on the filter in the 'Current filters' panel at the bottom.

From here you can re-adjust the filter (if it has additional options).

To remove a filter from the slide, select the filter and then left click the 'Remove filter' button on the right.

The order the filters are applied can sometimes be imported, so the order can be changed by using the up and down arrows on the right. The first filter in the 'Current filters' panel will be on top and the last filter will be at the bottom.

For further control on the order decorations and filters are drawn or applied in the slide, left click the 'Order layers' button.
