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&#160;<img src="images/P_Visibility_Sm_N.png" /> 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&#160;<img src="images/P_Delete_Sm_N.png" />.</p>
<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />To save time when trying various filters, experiment
by selecting a small, representative part of your image. </div></div>
<ol><li><span>Do one of the following:</span><ul><li><p>To
apply a filter to an entire layer, make sure that the layer is active
or selected.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To apply a filter to an area of a layer, select
that&#160;area. </p>
</li>
<li><p>To apply a filter nondestructively, so you can change
your filter settings later, select the Smart Object that contains
the image content that you want to filter.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Choose Filter&#160;&gt; Filter Gallery.</span></li>
<li><span>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.</span></li>
<li><span>Enter values or select options for the filter you selected. </span></li>
<li><span>Do any of the following:</span><ul><li><p>To apply filters cumulatively, click the
New Effect Layer icon&#160;<img src="images/P_New_Wi_N.png" />, and
choose an additional filter to apply. Repeat this procedure to add
more filters.</p>
</li>
<li><p>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.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To remove applied filters, select a filter in the
applied filter list, and click the Delete Layer icon&#160;<img src="images/P_Delete_Sm_N.png" />.</p>
