Exploring the Neural Filters workspace
In Bridge, double-click the 15Restore.psd file to open it in Photoshop. If the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box appears, click OK.
Save the document as 15Restore_Working.psd in the Lesson15 folder.
Choose Filter > Neural Filters.
In the Neural Filters workspace, the image appears in a large preview area on the left, and the Neural Filters panel is on the right:
When you select a filter, its options appear in the Neural Filters panel.
To use a filter, it must be enabled. A filter is enabled when its toggle switch is moved to the right position and in color. You can enable multiple filters.
If the selected filter recognizes faces in the image, they’re listed in the thumbnail preview menu at the top of the options. In the document, a blue rectangle indicates the selected face; gray rectangles indicate other detected faces. Select a face in the face menu or in the document.
To compare the current filter results with the original image, click the Show Original icon at the bottom of the workspace to select it and display the original layer. Click again to deselect it and preview the filter results again.
When a document has multiple layers, the Layer Preview button controls whether the preview displays one layer or the entire document.
Along the left side, the top two tools let you paint a mask to hide filter effects from some areas, similar to the layer masks you edited in Lessons 6 and 8.
