You can then export out again in the required image format, such as JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc.

To retain the editability of a lens, save the file first in CPT format which will retain the layer structure.

In this case, the lens effect will no longer be editable when the image is reopened. Note: When saving an image that has had a lens effect applied to it, be aware that many image file formats will merge any existing layers to a single layer. To readjust the lens settings, double-click the lens icon in the Objects docker, and then make any necessary adjustments in the Scatter dialog box.In the Scatter dialog box, experiment with the Vertical and Horizontal sliders until you achieve a desirable effect, and then click OK.This lens ‘scatters' the image's pixels, creating a painted look similar to Pointillism. In the New Lens dialog box, choose Scatter and then click OK.Click File > Open, navigate to a folder containing a suitable image, select it, and then click Open.Since a lens sits above the background image on its own layer, you can easily remove an unwanted lens layer by clicking the Delete icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the Objects docker. At any time, you can double-click the lens icon in the Objects docker to make further adjustments. Lenses also offer the advantage of being adjustable on the fly.

If applying a lens to a masked area, you can use the Object Pick tool to reposition both the mask and the lens within the image. You can apply lenses to an entire image or to the editable area of a mask. Lenses, which are the equivalent to adjustment layers in Photoshop®, let you preview special effects and image adjustments without permanently altering the image's pixels. We'll also look at how to create special tonal effects. In this tutorial, we'll explore the many benefits of using lenses and masks to make image adjustments.
