PhotoFiltre in Practice
As an example, we enhanced this image by adding several elements and increasing the color vibrancy, as the original appeared somewhat faded. You can also observe the appearance of the Plugins Toolbar after we integrated seven new plugins into PhotoFiltre. Plugins are also accessible through the menus if you prefer not to display the toolbar.
Here’s the resulting image after applying an Outside Frame (with a custom width), a Large Button 3D Frame (double bevel), increased shadows, text, and Gamma Correction (-). The outcome is quite impressive.
