Duplicate a filter
Do one of the following:
m Option-drag the filter from its location onto another image layer or group.
The pointer changes
to indicate duplication.
m 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.
Reorder 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.
Reorder a filter
Do one of the following:
m Drag the filter name or icon up or down in the list.
A position indicator shows the new location for the filter.
The Circle Blur
filter moves above
the Echo filter.
