Applying Image Effects 71

If you want to have complete flexibility when creating 3D effects, you can

click the Add Layer Effects button on the Layers tab.. The dialog is shared for

both 2D and 3D effects—simply check the 3D Effects box and experiment with

the settings (enable other 3D check boxes as appropriate).

For more information about creating 3D filter effects, see PhotoPlus Help.

3D effects overview

Suppose you’ve applied a 3D layer effect preset from

the Instant Effects tab, and then you bring up the

Layer Effects dialog. On inspecting the settings used

in the preset, the first thing you’ll notice is that several

boxes may be checked.

• 3D Effects is a master switch for this group,

and its settings of Blur and Depth make a

great difference; you can click the "+" button

to unlink them for independent adjustment.

• 3D Pattern Map allows for blend mode,

opacity, depth, displacement and softening

adjustments, along with a choice of gradient

fills. This is checked depending on the type

of instant effect selected.

• 3D Lighting provides a "light source"

without which any depth information in the

effect wouldn’t be visible. The lighting

settings let you illuminate your 3D

landscape and vary its reflective properties.
