Select an object in the Canvas, Layers list, or Timeline, then choose an option from the Add Filter
pop-up menu in the toolbar.
The filter is applied to an image layer.
Note: Although you can apply a filter from the Library to another effects object in the Layers list
(a behavior or another filter), the filter affects the parent image layer, not the effects object.
Apply multiple filters to an object
When multiple filters are applied to an object, they have a cumulative effect. In the Layers list and
Timeline, multiple filters appear nested under the object to which they are applied.
Do one of the following:
m
Select the image layer or folder to apply the filters to, Shift-select contiguous filters or Command-
select noncontiguous filters in the Library, then click Apply.
m
Shift-select contiguous filters or Command-select noncontiguous filters in the Library, then drag
them to the image layer or folder in the Layers list, Canvas, or Timeline.
The filters are applied to the image layer in the order they are selected. For example, if you select
Echo, Brightness, and Bevel, in that order, and then apply them to an object, their stacking order
in the Layers list is Bevel above Brightness above Echo. The stacking order of filters determines
the order of application which, in turn, affects the result of the composite effect. For more
information about managing filter order, see
on page 747.
