Applying film and filter effects to photos
Whether you are a novice or an experienced photographer, you can experiment in Corel PaintShop Pro with effects that are inspired by different types of camera film and filters. You can choose from a list of preset film effects, called Film Looks, or you can choose from a list of preset filter effects, called Creative Filters. You can also combine a film effect with a filter effect to create a unique style.
Film Looks
Film Looks are inspired by the effects achieved when you use different types of film in a traditional camera. Film Looks are described by the type of effect they achieve, rather than a film name, which makes them easier to identify. You can experiment with them even if you’ve never worked with different types of film. Unlike the Creative Filters, which apply a color to the entire photo, Film Looks can change what is emphasized in a photo by making some colors more dramatic or more subtle. Some Film Looks also change the contrast or softness of photos.
The Vibrant Foliage Film Look enhances blues and greens.
The following Film Looks are available:
You can also apply the following film effects:
• |
Black-and-white — For more information, see To apply the Black

Sepia toning — For more information, see To apply the Sepia
Toning effect.

• |
Infrared — For more information, see To apply the Infrared Film
effect.

Creative Filters
Creative Filters simulate the effect achieved when you use color filters on the lens of your camera. Although the color is applied across the entire photo, Corel PaintShop Pro maintains the luminance of the image, to achieve a color toning effect. You can use a preset color or choose a custom color.
The Sunset filter adds a warm orange tone to your photos.
The following Creative Filters are available:
