PDFs and Photoshop Filters

PDF is a universal format, it is widely used and has wide uses such as you can embed not just documents but also images, videos and audios. Most of the computers today and devices alike have Acrobat Reader (used to read PDF files) already installed.

Now, when making PDFs can be simple or complex, you can also limit the file when it comes to security, printing, viewing and editing.


You can limit the resolution


or the color space


or even add passwords for accessing and printing


and here shows the summary of the settings you've calibrated for the PDF


And now for the Photoshop Filters (which can be found in the Menu Bar called "Filter")

Here're just a few samples of the many filters you can work with in Photoshop


Combining the filters can make more effects to your liking

and also a special filter called "Vanishing Point" lets you plot out the perspective plane/s in an image just like this one I worked with
One of the many advantages to it is when you use the clone stamp tool because it aligns itself to the grid instead of just a flat out brush along the image

and this is the finished product, I most used textures and brushes to make these effects

after:


process:


Although the filter isn't as accurate so you still have adjust it yourself if it the grid doesn't simulate the perspective in the image.
