The Guide to Standard Filters

NTSC Colors Like CMYK color space, video graphics often have a narrower gamut. The NTSC Colors fi lter adjusts the colors of your Photoshop graphic to match the NTSC standard (used by broadcasters in North America). Unfortunately, this fi lter hard clips color information that falls outside of the safe color range for the NTSC model. Instead of gently fading these colors, a hard clip is quite visible. If you’re using Photoshop CS2 (or later), be sure to try the Broadcast Saturation action (part of the Video set).

Other Filters The Other fi lters did not fit into any of the other categories. So the descriptive term other was put through months of development and testing. You can use these fi lters to make your own fi lters, modify masks, or adjust colors. It’s a true grab bag but an important mix.

Custom Some users like the Custom fi lter, but it’s pretty tough to use. Essentially, you are multiplying, adding, and subtracting color information. Look up the instruction in the Help Center, and feel free to explore.
