Questions and answers about PhotoChances Lab

How many effects contain the program?

There are more than 100 (some being subtle variations of others) many of them contain parameters that are set randomly each time and can make little or more obvious differences. Additionally there are a few of the effects that consist on mixing others so actually there are much more possible results.

I want to use it to use a particular effect to individual images.

This is one of the major features of PhotoChances-Lab. Once you captured an image with an effect you can apply that same effect to any other image: Run PhotoChances-Lab, open the image containing the effect in the "Recipes zone" (at the top) and open the image you want the effect applied to in the "Target image" zone. (Instead of using the open button, both zones admit dragging the file on them) You can fine-tune the effect with the controls at the right.

I want to use the resulting images in layers in PhotoShop. Is that possible?

Yes, load the original image in PhotoShop (optionally you can do that directly from PhotoChances Lab by right clicking the mouse on the image and choosing "Original image->Edit" in the popup menu). In the Lab window press the button Copy, then switch to PhotoShop and select Edit->Paste (or press Control+V), this will place a new layer with the current image. Then you can do any usual operation in PhotoShop as creating a mask, setting transparency, changing blend mode etc), you can repeat the procedure as many times as you like (while there's enough memory)

You say the watermark in saved images in the demo program can be removed when the program is licensed. How is that done? (I don't see any option for this in the demo program)

Drag the image withe the watermark to the program's icon. It will appear a message offering to remove the watermark. You will have to select a folder+filename for the non-watermarked image.
