• Special effects can be applied to each picture
  individually or to all pictures simultaneously.
  However if you apply the special effect to all
  photos in a PhotoStory file and the file contains
  a large number of photos it may take several
  minutes for the effect to be applied to all the
  photos.
• Once a special effect has been applied it cannot
  by UNDONE to remove it you may choose Reset or
  set the special effect to NONE
• Saving an effect on a photo DOES NOT save the
  PhotoStory file. Remember to save the PhotoStory
  project every few minutes.
