Applying the Apply Screen effect

You can simulate the appearance of a silk-screened print by using the Apply Screen effect. This effect lets you combine image luminance and the three selected colors, to produce a multi-color rendition of the image. When you use this effect, anti-aliasing is automatically applied to the image.
