Apply filters from the Filter Gallery
Filter effects are applied in the order you select them. You can rearrange filters after you apply them by dragging a filter name to another position
in the list of applied filters. Rearranging filter effects can dramatically change the way your image looks. Click the eye icon next to a filter to hide
the effect in the preview image. You can also delete applied filters by selecting the filter and clicking the Delete Layer icon .
To save time when trying various filters, experiment by selecting a small, representative part of your image.
1. Do one of the following:
To apply a filter to an entire layer, make sure that the layer is active or selected.
To apply a filter to an area of a layer, select that area.
To apply a filter non-destructively, so you can change your filter settings later, select the Smart Object that contains the image content
that you want to filter.
2. Choose Filter > Filter Gallery.
3. Click a filter name to add the first filter. You may need to click the inverted triangle next to the filter category to see the complete list of filters.
Once added, the filter appears in the applied filter list in the lower right corner of the Filter Gallery dialog box.
4. Enter values or select options for the filter you selected.
5. Do any of the following:
To apply filters cumulatively, click the New Effect Layer icon , and choose an additional filter to apply. Repeat this procedure to add
more filters.
To rearrange applied filters, drag the filter to a new position in the applied filter list in the lower right corner of the Filter Gallery dialog
box.
To remove applied filters, select a filter in the applied filter list, and click the Delete Layer icon .
6. When you’re satisfied with the results, click OK.
Blend and fade filter effects
The Fade command changes the opacity and blending mode of any filter, painting tool, erasing tool, or color adjustment. The Fade command
blending modes are a subset of those in the painting and editing tools options (excluding the Behind and Clear modes). Applying the Fade
command is similar to applying the filter effect on a separate layer and then using the layer opacity and blending mode controls.
The Fade command can also modify the effects of using the Liquify command and Brush Strokes filters.
1. Apply a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment to an image or selection.
