All effects demonstrated below can be applied during conventional or lossless image editing ("Views"). Many effects offer Quick Effects(s) which are one-click image modifications that can be applied to a batch of images from the main Media Browser. For example, it is possible to select a collection of media and apply sepia, rotation, color balancing, emboss, and other effects with only one mouse click.

Stencils allow a photo editing effect to be applied using a shape such as ellipse, star, rounded rectangle, rectangle, text or user drawn polygon. All stencils support some level of alpha blending to allow the current layer to be blended with the underlying layer. Each stencil shape also features an optional colored border to frame the region.

In the examples below the same Edge Detect effect was applied to the original photograph with different stencil variations.
