Frequently Asked Questions

The Color Effects CC Panel is aimed at anyone using Photoshop, for whom image editing plays a big role in their everyday life. That’s why it’s ideal for photographers, retouchers and image editors; however, through the implementation of additional actions, it can also be an effective tool for other occupations. The panel has been designed for beginners and professionals alike. Due to its simple user interface, they can now get precise image results within a very short time and integrate their own actions visually into the panel.

In addition to more than 120 supplied image looks, the panel also replaces the confusing Photoshop tab “Actions”. By having its own sorting system and adding thumbnails, it saves time and money when it comes to applicating commonly used actions.

The Color Effects CC panel runs on OS X and Windows operating systems, on which Photoshop CC 2015.5.2 – CC 22.3 are operable.
Photoshop CC, CS6 or older versions of Photoshop are not supported! Apples new M1 Chip is not supported.

You can install the panel on all your computers (OS X and Windows) and use it on multiple devices simultaneously. The important thing is that the panel may only be used by one person (single license). It is therefore intended for the person who bought the panel (or for whom the panel was bought). If other people use the panel, additional licenses have to be purchased.

The panel is already available under www.imageresult.com/. You can buy it also at the Adobe Exchange Store.

Integrate Adobe Action Files (.atn)

In this Video we will show you how you can integrate own actions into the Color Effects CC panel.

Color Effects CC was originally designed as a panel for color looks, in order to create non-destructive image looks with the help of adjustment layers via actions.

However, adding, editing and deleting all actions makes it possible to use the panel for other areas of application. By integrating various actions, it’s possible to partially or completely forgo color looks.

Examples of other actions could include:

• Resizing of pictures
• Applying lens flares and light leaks
• Extrusion of text and graphics
• Creating frames
• Application of text effects
• Generating stamps or polaroids
• Removing background colors
• Creating shadows
• Creating fire and other effects along a mask
• etc.

Once updates are available, you will receive the corresponding information via email. Further information will be posted on www.imageresult.com in due course. No updates are planned at the moment. If smaller functions of the panel are to be extended, they will be released as a free update. Large updates, that significantly extend the functionality, may have to be paid for.
