About Perfect Effects 3
Perfect Effects 3 is a program that, in a nutshell, adds effects and filters to any image on your hard drive. Don’t worry though – as a desktop application, it does have some more features so you can click-and-go or mess around with a bunch of sliders. In any case, the images look very nice at the end of the process.Download & Installation
Free Effects 3 can be downloaded by going to this page and clicking on the download link, which will ask you for a few pieces of information before sending you a download link via email. The download (at the time of writing) is 216MB, so please be aware of that as you’re planning your download. Once the download completes, unzip the setup file from the zip folder and run it. Click next on each screen in the installation wizard, and in no time the program will be installed and ready for use.Program Features
When you first launch the program, you will get a nice little walkthrough of some of the features. When you go ahead and click on Effects at the top right of the screen, another small walkthrough appears, where you can then start applying your different effects.
Settings related to each effect can be found in the panel on the right side, and once you are done tweaking for that specific effect, click on “Add” to add it. You can repeat the process for every effect you’d like to add, and when you’re done you can click on “Apply” to create the new image with effects.
Finally, you can save the image by going to File –> Save As. In there, you can choose a few different formats, including .psd for Photoshop or other compatible software like GIMP. However, if you don’t want to tweak it in the future, JPEG is the way to go.
After doing some tweaking of my own on an image I chose, I saved this image as the final result after adding three effects to the image. I’m not that great with art in general, so this is only an example. You can mix and match your own effects to get your own desired effect.
