I open pic.
Click Effects Creator.
Understand drop down and sliders.

Photo disapears. Unable to see effects applied.

Any ideas?

The most likely thing to have happened if your photo disapears is that you have added a node that turns your picture black. Thye filter node for instance by default paints black over its input. If you pasted a screenshot I could make a better guess.

Hi Fontana,


I think what you might not have done is connect the node up to anything. Each node changes a picture in some way, but you need to join it to another node to tell it which picture to change. Initially the only picture is the one you've loaded, so try connecting a node to the Effect Input (which is your loaded picture). We've got a few videos here on how to create effects in the effects editor, which can show you how. Try watching the first one or two and trying them (the videos are listed with all the different images needed for each of them).
