Art Filters:Pop Art:Enhances colours making them stronger and more vivid to create high-impact pictures that express the happy, light-hearted feeling of the pop art style
Soft Focus:Creates a soft tone which gives pictures an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere.It renders pictures as though they were veiled in heavenly light, without obscuring details such as hair or flower petals
Grainy Film:This effect recreates the feeling of reality evoked by grainy, high-contrast monochrome pictures.The strong presence and dramatic atmosphere make the subject stand out impressively
Pin Hole:Reduces the peripheral brightness like an image seen through a pinhole.Added to this is a unique colour tone that results in a style that has an air of secrecy or portrays the feeling of being lost in another dimension or space
Diorama:Enhances a composition's depth of field to give the image an unreal touch and model-like structure
Gentle Sepia:Elegant filter which gives image a muted soft tone but conserves its dark edge.The contrast between light and dark gives pictures a touch of class
