To duplicate a filter
Do one of the following:
µ
Option-drag the filter from its location onto another image layer or group.
The pointer changes to
indicate duplication.
µ
Choose Edit > Duplicate (or press Command-D).
The duplicate appears with “copy” appended to its name. When you use the Duplicate
command (or keyboard shortcut), the duplicate appears above the original filter. Drag
the duplicate to another layer or group. If you leave the duplicate where it is, the filter
will be applied twice to the current image layer.
Reordering Filters
Multiple filters applied to a single image layer (or folder) appear nested underneath it in
the Timeline and Layers list, in the order the filters were selected in the Library. You can
change the order of filter application to change how they interact.
Some filters yield better results depending on the order they are applied. For instance,
never apply a color correction filter after applying a blur filter. A color correction is most
effective when it acts on the original image, rather than a filtered distortion of the original
image. The same holds true for chroma keying operations and any other effects process
requiring unmediated color information.
To reorder a filter
Do one of the following:
µ
Drag the filter name or icon up or down in the list.
