Reorder, duplicate, or delete Smart Filters
You can reorder Smart Filters in the Layers panel, duplicate them, or delete Smart Filters if you no longer want to apply them to a Smart Object.
Reorder Smart Filters
In the Layers panel, drag a Smart Filter up or down in the list. (Double-click Filter Gallery to reorder any gallery filters.)
Photoshop applies Smart Filters from the bottom up.
Duplicate Smart Filters
In the Layers panel, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the Smart Filter from one Smart Object to another, or to a new location in
the Smart Filters list.
To duplicate all Smart Filters, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the Smart Filters icon that appears next to the Smart
Object layer.
Delete Smart Filters
To delete an individual Smart Filter, drag it to the Delete icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.
To delete all Smart Filters applied to a Smart Object layer, select the Smart Object layer and choose Layer > Smart Filter > Clear Smart
Filters.
Mask Smart Filters
When you apply a Smart Filter to a Smart Object, Photoshop displays an empty (white) mask thumbnail on the Smart Filters line in the Layers
panel under the Smart Object. By default, this mask shows the entire filter effect. (If you made a selection before applying the Smart Filter,
Photoshop displays the appropriate mask instead of an empty mask on the Smart Filters line in the Layers panel.)
Use filter masks to selectively mask Smart Filters. When you mask Smart Filters, the masking applies to all Smart Filters—you can’t mask
individual Smart Filters.
Filter masks work much like layer masks, and you can use many of the same techniques with them. Like layer masks, filter masks are stored as
alpha channels in the Channels panel, and you can load their boundaries as a selection.
Like layer masks, you can paint on a filter mask. Areas of the filter that you paint in black are hidden; areas you paint in white are visible; and
areas you paint in shades of gray appear in various levels of transparency.
Use the controls in the Masks panel to change the filter mask density, add feathering to the edges of the mask, or invert the mask.
By default, layer masks are linked to regular layers or Smart Object layers. When you move the layer mask or the layer using the Move
tool, they move as a unit.
Mask Smart Filter effects
1. Click the filter mask thumbnail in the Layers panel to make it active.
A border appears around the mask thumbnail.
2. Select any of the editing or painting tools.
