Special FX with Web Studio
Web Studio is not just a web page authoring tool. It also includes many of the tools used by professional
web site authors. The pros use these tools to create awesome graphics, unusual text, combinations of
images, and more that you see on the best web site everyday.

Web Studio includes tons of effects in its Special FX Gallery. To use these effects, you simply drag-and-
drop the effect onto the graphic or text object of interest. We'll show you some of the most popular effects
now. You can also drop multiple effects on the same image for really wild results!

As you look this page over, remember that everything you see is a simple drag-and-drop away.

Dropped Shadows
Dropped shadows give that 3-D look to text and graphics on the web. It makes them seem to float
above the page. Here's how it's done:
before
This was a text object with the Harlow font in 24
points.

Then we dropped the Shadow FX on it...awesome!
after
Here's a butterfly graphic with the Shadow FX
dropped on it. Notice how the shadow follows
the perimiter of the butterfly.

Color Saturation
The Saturation FX is for the
photos you've taken that would
have looked great if only they
weren't washed out.

These are the same photo,

makes!

Textures
Textures enable you to make a photo
or other graphic appear as though
they were drawn or painted on a
surface with an interesting texture.

Check out the portrait on canvas and
on brick!

And the water drops on the wave
shot, or the jig saw puzzle.

And then of course we have all the old favorites you'll need...

And finally Hue
The Hue controls and FX in Web Studio enable you to effectively multiply your art
collection by a factor of eight!

There are a few ways to do this. You can change the hue of every object in a
Gallery with the hue buttons on the Gallery itself.
Pressing the left button make the image
normal colored. Each of the others
changes all the hues in the image a fixed
amount.
If your image is already on the page, just
drop the Hue effect from the Special FX
Gallery. Drop it multiple times until you
see what you like. Dropping it eight times
brings the colors back to their original
hues.
