[. . . ] Adobe Illustrator CS Help Using Help Using Help | Contents | Index Back 1 Using Help About Help Adobe Systems Incorporated provides complete documentation in an Adobe PDF-based help system. This help system includes information on all tools, commands, and features of an application. It is designed for easy on-screen navigation and can also be printed and used as a desktop reference. Additionally, it supports third-party screen-reader applications that run in a Windows environment. Navigating in Help Help opens in an Adobe Acrobat window with the Bookmarks pane open. [. . . ] This filter is useful for colorizing an image while softening its look. To select a glow color, click the glow box and select a color from the color picker. Paint Daubs Lets you choose from various brush sizes (from 1 to 50) and types for a painterly effect. Brush types include simple, light rough, light dark, wide sharp, wide blurry, and sparkle. Palette Knife Reduces detail in an image to give the effect of a thinly painted canvas that reveals the texture underneath. Plastic Wrap Coats the image as if in shiny plastic, accentuating the surface detail. Poster Edges Reduces the number of colors in an image according to the Posterization value you set, then finds the edges of the image and draws black lines on them. Broader areas of the image have simple shading, while fine, dark detail is distributed throughout the image. Rough Pastels Makes an image appear as if stroked with colored pastel chalk on a textured background. In areas of bright color, the chalk appears thick with little texture; in darker areas, the chalk appears scraped off to reveal the texture. For more information on using this command's texturizing options, see "Using texture and glass surface controls" on page 276.

Lighter areas become brighter and lose detail. Sponge Creates images with highly textured areas of contrasting color as if painted with a sponge. Underpainting Paints the image on a textured background, and then paints the final image over it. For more on the options for this command, see "Using texture and glass surface controls" on page 276. Watercolor Paints the image in a watercolor style, simplifying details and using a medium brush loaded with water and color. Where significant tonal changes occur at edges, the filter saturates the color. Blur filters and effects The commands in the Blur submenu in the Filter and Effect menus are useful for retouching images. They smooth transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image. Note: These commands are raster-based and use the document's raster effects settings whenever you apply the effect to a vector object. (See "Specifying raster effects settings" on page 275. ) If you apply these commands from the Effect menu, you can use the Appearance palette to modify or remove the effects from your object. (See "Modifying and removing appearance attributes" on page 269. ) Gaussian Blur Quickly blurs a selection by an adjustable amount. This filter removes high-frequency detail and can produce a hazy effect.
