The Smart Filter appears under the Smart Filters line in the Layers palette beneath the Smart Object layer. If you see
a warning icon next to a Smart Filter in the Layers palette, the filter doesn’t support the image’s color mode or depth.
After you apply a Smart Filter, you can drag it (or an entire group of Smart Filters) onto another Smart Object layer
in the Layers palette; press Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) Smart Filters. You can’t drag Smart Filters
onto regular layers.

If a Smart Filter contains editable settings, you can edit it at any time. You can also edit blending options for Smart
Filters.
Note: When you edit a Smart Filter, you can’t preview filters stacked above it. After you finish editing the Smart Filter,
Photoshop again displays the filters stacked above it.
