November 7, 2017 | Digital Scrapper News | Volume 15 Issue 45
Hi ,
Maybe you’re like me. I forget I have filters.
Well, what I mean is, I know they are there, I just fail to see practical application for most of them.
This week’s news is all about a recent discovery I made with the Ripple Filter. The tip is easy and practical, which is right up my alley. Check it out below.
I look forward to seeing what you create in the gallery. Have a great week.

Going From Stiff to Squiggly - Qwik Filter Tip
Just recently I set upon the task of adding a set of chevrons to this double scrapbook page.
Problem: Because the chevrons started out as a custom shape, they were graphic in nature. They were not matching the outdoorsy feel of my scrapbook page. I needed them to be a little less stiff.
Solution: A quick application of the Ripple Filter (Filter > Distort > Ripple) made the chevrons just squiggly enough to look like they were meant to be on my page.
A few filter tips:
-
Filters will not work on a vector layer, like a font or a shape. But, if you simplify/rasterize the layer first, you are good to go!
-
Start by applying the default settings. You’d be surprised how much of a difference it can make.
-
For more sassiness in your squiggle, run the filter more than once. I ran it three times on my chevrons.
Just in Case You Missed It
Last week we featured a FREE Qwik Tutorial by Jenifer teaching you how to apply a creamy photo treatment to a photo. This page by CT member Donna is a great example of the tutorial. I love how the creamy colors in the kit match the creamy colors in the photo.
