Details and Previews

The third column of the Library is the details pane. It will display information and options for the effect or preset selected in the results pane. The Details column will display the following information:

The category where the effect or preset lives
The creator of the effect or preset
A description of the effect or preset
In some cases options for the effect like strength, color or position

In the header of the details pane are two buttons. Add to stack, which will add the currently selected effect or preset to the stack, and Undo, which will undo the last action. You can use the Add to stack and undo button to easily preview effects on your image. Just click on add to stack, if you don't like the results, click undo to remove it.

The far right, forth column shows an example of the effect or preset. There are options so show the before, after or a split-screen view of the effect on a sample image. Keep in mind that some effects may be subtle and you won't be able to judge them without adding them to your image and zooming in.
