Managing filter groups and specific filters

When you apply a filter to a filter layer it automatically creates a filter

group. This allows you to store and manage a selection of filters more easily—

you'll be able to control multiple filters in bulk by operating at the group level,

e.g. to hide/show, delete, apply blend modes, and opacity to all filters

simultaneously. Most operations can be applied equally to group or specific

filter, except for masking, which can be used on filter groups but not on

individual filters.

To hide/show a filter group/filter:

•

Click the Hide/Show Filter button next to its name on the

Layers tab.

Right-click the filter and select Disable Filter (or Enable Filter).

Right-click the filter group and select Disable Filter Group (or Enable

Filter Group).

To delete a filter group/filter:

• Right-click the filter (or filter group) and select Delete Filter (Group).

To create an empty filter group:

Right-click a filter layer and select Add Filter Group from the flyout menu.

Just as layers can adopt different blend mode and opacity levels the same is true of

filter groups and individual filters. For a refresh on these concepts, see Using blend

modes and Adjusting opacity/transparency on p. 31 and p. 25, respectively.

You can use the Blend Options dialog to make blend mode and opacity changes

with a dynamic preview, updating as you make change.

To apply a blend mode:

1. Right-click the filter group (or filter) and select Blend Options.

2. From the dialog, select an option from the Blend Mode drop-down list.

3. Click OK.

To change opacity:

• From the above dialog, enter an Opacity level.
