Creating Unusual Visual Effects

For fun, you can turn ordinary digital pictures into unique images—make a color picture appear in black-and-white or fade colors to make the image look older. To modify the appearance of a picture, do the following:

1. In iPhoto, click a picture to edit, and click the Edit button at the bottom of the iPhoto window to display editing tools (see Figure 29-1).

2. Click the Effects button. An Effects window appears, displaying the effects from which you can choose (see Figure 29-4).

3. Click an effect in the Effects window. Your image changes according to the effect you chose.

   

   Figure 29-4. The Effects window shows how your image will appear if you choose a particular effect.

   Note

   If you don't like your changes, press -Z to return the image to its original appearance. You can undo changes only before you click the Done button.

4. Click Done.
