Complex effects may be applied to images and there is no limit to what an application can offer by itself or through the use of plugins. When applying such effects the best approach is to keep the original image and any intermediate one with various degrees or emphasis applied. For instance, when you colorize a picture or when you blur certain parts of it, I advise to save the same image with effects applied at various intensities. After you have these images, review which one looks best to you and also ask for opinions. Do not rush, as some results may seem more appropriate on the rush of the moment but they may not seem as such after you let a day pass. | Complex effects may be applied to images and there is no limit to what an application can offer by itself or through the use of plugins.

Most of the time, effects are organized based on the perceived impact, whether they apply the initial photography on a 3D object or they use mostly 2D effects. Classic 3D effects are spherical and cube mapping, extrusions, although the list is much longer than that. Popular 2D effects include various types of blur, geometrical distortions, embossing, smaller or larger area pixel effects, colorization. | |||
<code>''There is no right or wrong way to apply effects and results as well as critical acclaims are highly subjective. As a rule of thumb, it is better to be more subtle than overt, so effects applied in moderation are more likely to be appreciated.''</code> | <code>''There is no right or wrong way to apply effects and results as well as critical acclaims are highly subjective.
