[Solved] Gamma, poster etc

[Mirabelle]

Hello. I recently lost 3.1 which had special effects like poster and charcoal, also gamma and contrast. I've got the new 4 version but can't find these things on it. Sorry if it's obvious, I'm not into the technical side of things but love creating and playing with photos etc. I''d be grateful for your help.

Using the Find tab in the Help file (F1), I found that there are a few entries for gamma and contrast, but nothing for poster or charcoal.

If you feel you really need these features, and can't find them, then I suggest downloading a copy of 3.1 from http://www.openoffice.org/download/archive.html

Do to the fact that 3.x and 4.x store their profile setting in different locations, it is possible to have both 3.x and 4.x versions installed simultaneously.

In Draw open Help and look up "Charcoal sketches filter"

Charcoal and poster are both available via the Filter icon on the Picture toolbar which appears on my OO as below:

You may need to turn on the Picture toolbar via View|Toolbars

Sorted! Thankyou all so much for your help - what a good thing there are people who are both kind and brilliant! Happy Christmas. Mirabelle
