Using
PhotoKit-EL
Using
PhotoKit-EL is very simple. You open an image, pick the 'Set'
and then the 'Effect' that you wish to apply to your image and
click 'OK'. To see
how simple
it is to use, let's go back to the Arches image shown in the Launch
section.

Once
the image is open, navigate to the Automate Tools menu to launch
PhotoKit-EL. Note: you can also launch PhotoKit-EL from the Recipes
palette as well as the Effects palette. When you installed PhotoKit-EL,
a new series of Recipes was added
to help make using PhotoKit-EL more convenient. To learn more about
using Recipes, please click HERE.
To learn about using PhotoKit-EL from the Effects palette, click
HERE.

For
this example, we'll choose a different Effect from the Tone Set;
'Boost Contrast 3'. This effect will increase the contrast of the
image by lightening the lighter tones while darkening the darker
tones.

The
result of the 'Boost Contrast 3' is shown below. Note that a new
layer has been created with the 'Boost Contrast 3' layer above
the 'Background' layer
of your image. To look at the image before the PhotoKit-EL correction,
move your mouse over the image below.
