Essential Tips for Parametric Filters

These practical tips will help you work more effectively with parametric filters and avoid common mistakes.

  • Set your resolution first: Choose draft, medium, or ultra resolution before making adjustments, as different resolution settings can dramatically change the filter's appearance
  • Expand the properties panel: Drag the panel from the bottom to see all available controls, as many options are hidden below the default view
  • Stack filters with Alt/Option: Hold Alt (PC) or Option (Mac) while clicking additional filters to layer effects instead of replacing the current filter
  • Combine filters with selections: Use selection tools like Select Subject before applying filters to target specific areas like backgrounds or objects
  • Create custom presets: Click the plus sign to save your adjusted settings as reusable presets for consistent looks across multiple images
