How to Add Effects to a Selection

Download and install PhotoPad Photo Editing Software.
Open your image into PhotoPad by pressing Ctrl + O on your keyboard or by dragging and dropping it directly into the program.
On the effects tab, click the Regional Effects button to open it in the Effects History and Layers list.
Choose your desired Effect from the dropdown list. If the effect has properties, you can adjust them now or after making your selection.
Use any of the Select tools to choose the area that you want the effect to be applied with.
Click the Select Region button in the Regional Effects properties of the Layers panel to apply effect in the selected area.
If you want the effect to apply to everything but your selection, click the Invert Region button.
Clicking the Reset Region button will apply the effect to the entire image, so that you can start over with choosing the region to apply the effect.
