Effects Gallery: How do I see ALL effects?

[eadams Profile]

OK, here's a newbie question...

In the Effects Gallery I am seeing only a subset of all the effects because one of the limiting descriptors (Dramatic, Artistic, Realistic, Favorites, Latest) is checked and I can't figure out how to uncheck it. I can toggle between them, but how do I get rid of the checkmark altogether, so that I can see all effects?

I've encountered this problem before and was always able to solve it by doing random things like restarting the program, loading a different image, etc. but today I'm not having any luck.

Thanks, Eve

Mine shows the same thing but all 477 pages are available, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Hi DennB,

This is getting curiouser and curiouser.

The reason I noticed the problem in the first place was that I wasn't seeing all 477 pages. With the checkmark on Artistic (like in the screenshot) I had only three hundred and something pages available. I loaded another image and even restarted the program and never could get SPE to tell me I was looking at page 1 of 477 pages. After seeing your post I started the program again and voilà, all of a sudden I am seeing 477 pages again. I think this is happening to me randomly, which is why I have the impression that random actions on my part solve it.

Hi,

Just to clarify: Artistic is a combination of all dramatic and realistic effects, so you should be seeing all of them. I think I know what's causing the confusion though: Depending on the aspect ratio of your image, SPE can show a different number of effects per page. If it shows more per page, then there are less pages needed to show all effects. Also if you previously made a selection, it can show even more effects as some depend on selections.
