Image Processing Task Page

SnagIt's Image Processing options can be used to modify your captures in many different ways. Use one alone, or combine them to get exactly the right look. Select the Image Processing link in the Tasks pane and a task page displays showing your choices. Click to select the one you wish to use.

With most of the effects, upon selection an additional task page will appear. You can adjust the sliding bar in this task page to select the intensity level of the effect.

These effects can also be applied to just a region of the image. Use the cursor to select a region of the image, and then apply the effect.

To apply an Image Processing effect:

Use the Selection tool to select the area of the capture to apply the effect to. Or, leave the entire capture unselected to apply the effect to the entire capture.
From the Tasks pane, select the Image Processing link. The Image Processing options task page displays.
Select the desired task from the list. The task page for that task will display.
Select the options.

The following table describes each of the Capture Preview window Colors menu options along with their description.

Corresponding Tasks Pane Button	Menu Item Name	Description
	Average Blur	Changes the color of each pixel in an image to the average color of pixels in its neighborhood. This causes a blur effect. See also Average Blur.
	Median Blur	Changes the color of each pixel in an image to the median color of pixels in its neighborhood. This is equivalent to the Average option, but it is used to decrease noise, rather than add a blur effect. See also Median Blur.
	Sharpen	Increases or decreases the sharpness of the image. See also Sharpen.
	Posterize	Applies a poster effect on the image, reducing the number of bits per color channel. This decreases the number of colors and levels of lightness in the image or selection. The result is a flatter-looking image with bands of color rather than smooth gradients. See also Posterize.
	Pixelate	Imposes a mosaic effect on the image by dividing the image into tiles of a specified size and changing the color of all pixels in each tile to the average color of pixels in the tile. See also Pixelate.
	Solarize	Mimics the accidental exposure of photographic film to light, but lets you control the threshold level. It does so by inverting all color data with an intensity value greater than or the same as the threshold that you give. See also Solarize.
	Add Noise	Adds pixels to the capture at any location, letting you specify percentage of coverage and the color plane. It reduces the detail of an image and adds a grainy texture. By adding a small percentage of noise to an image, you can reduce the appearance of scratches and other imperfections. See also Add Noise.
	Oil Painting	Applies an oil-painting effect to the image. See also Oil Painting.
	Emboss	Applies an emboss effect to the image, letting you specify depth and direction of the effect. Applying an emboss effect converts the image into a bas-relief. It highlights the areas of contrast with black or white pixels and colors the low contrast areas a medium grey. Bands of color appear when there is a large difference in the contrast. See also Emboss.
	Underlay	Combines two images so that one looks to be an underlying texture for the other. This effects works best when the underlying image has been altered with an emboss effect or other type special effect that results in a texture. See also Underlay.
	Edge Detection	This effect increases the contrast along the edges in the image. Includes a variety of options for gradient or Laplacian edge detection. See also Edge Detection.
	Edge Enhance	Enhances the edges in the image. This effect is automatically applied. There are no other options for this effect.
