[SOLVED] How to easily add an effect to an image edge

Post by erock »

I have CPS Pro 22.2.0.8. x64

I am new as I have been using PhotoImpact 2 to X3 as well as Photoshop.

I have a few things I need to do but first..

I want to add a glow or edge to an image and in PS they have a few buttons (fx) on the bottom of the layer panel where you can choose what you want to do to the layer you have selected. It is really easy.

I have messed with a few things I have read for PSP however I am still unable to do it.

Can I get help please?

In PSP they are called Layer Styles and PSP has fewer of them with fewer options. Just double click on a layer to bring up the Properties dialog and Layer Styles will be one of the tabs available for editing. Here is an official article from Corel. https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/arti ... ntShop-Pro

And here is the official help documentation on them - http://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v20 ... tyles.html

I believe you're looking for the Inner Glow layer style.

Thank you. I will give them a read and try.

Yes, PS does make it easy with that 'fx' link at the bottom of the layers.

I am slowly getting into PSP but it does have some curves!

EDIT: Yes ! That's what I need. That little properties box says it all.

Thank you again. :D
