Gravit Designer is packed with a wealthy variety of vector and raster effects that you can use to turn your images into a piece of art or just create what you are up to.
Effects Panel
To apply an effect in Gravit you need to locate the Effects Panel at the bottom of the Inspector Panel.
Popular Effects
Most popular effects are imminent for you directly from the Effects Panel. Select an object and click on one of the four popular effects to apply it.
This way you can apply any of these effects:
Use the last menu item in this list called More to bring up a pop-up menu with more effects.
You can also access the same pop-up menu by clicking on the tiny Plus icon opposite to the effect label on the top-right of the Effects Panel.
Effects Popup Menu
The pop-up menu contains over 35 effects(2) arranged into different categories. You can select the category from the drop-down menu(1) on top.
There are six main categories:
- Adjust (1)
- Artistic (2)
- Blur (3)
- Distortion (4)
- Shadow (5)
- Other (6)
There is also a category for the most used effects(7).
Modifying Effects
Effect Attributes
Once an effect has been applied you can modify some of its attributes from the interface under the Effects Panel.
Every effect has its own unique set of attributes, thus you will use sliders, text fields, color pickers, and radio buttons to edit the effect.
Deleting Effects
You can get rid of the effect by clicking on the trash icon on the top right of the effect panel.
Toggle the Visibility of the Effect
The deleting can’t be undone – if you click the trash icon, this is what you have – there is no effect anymore. Unless you create a new effect and start playing with the attributes all over.
So instead of deleting the effect permanently, you can temporarily switch it off by clicking the eyeball icon next to the trash icon.
When you are ready to bring it back click the eyeball icon again.
Scope of the Effect
By default the effect is applied to the whole object. You can choose whether to apply it to the fill, border or the whole element. Cleck the bullet Icon next to the eyeball to bring up the menu with these options.
