May Focus Tip: Customizing Your Filter List in Color Efex Pro 4

By Laurie Rubin | On May 2, 2012 | 2 Comments

The Filter List is a great way to get some new ideas and inspiration for which filters to use for different types of photography. There are eight categories to choose from, including ‘All’ which displays all 55 filters, and ‘Favorites’ which displays your favorite filters. To set a filter as a favorite, click on the star next to the filter’s name. The star will turn yellow and the filter will now appear in the favorites list. What you may not realize is that you can customize these categories to include even more filter sets including color, glass, traditional and more! Would you like to see the New or Updated filters? It’s simple to customize your Filter List to display new filter sets for more creative ideas.

Example the Filter List and the Settings button

Simply click on Settings button located in the bottom left corner of the interface window. This will open the Settings dialog box.

Choose the Filter List Settings tab. There are six categories that you can customize. The two categories that will remain are ‘All’ and ‘Favorites’. Now you have the ability to update your Filter List with nine different photographic styles, New and Updated filters, and Color, Glass and Traditional filter sets.

Keep in mind that you can always revert back to the default settings by selecting the rotating arrow located in the upper right side of the Settings dialog box.

If you are interested in Wildlife photography like I am, try the Nature and Landscape filter sets. These offer some great filter effects that are sure to enhance your photos to help them to look their best!
