Join Julieanne Kost for an in-depth discussion in this video Applying filters non destructively with Smart Filters, part of Photoshop CC 2019 Essential Training: The Basics.
- [Instructor] The most important thing to know…before you start working with filters…is that if you simply select the filter from the list,…Photoshop is going to apply that filter…and make a permanent change to your image.…For example, if I select the Filter menu,…and then choose Noise, and I Add Noise to this image,…when I click OK, we can see that Photoshop…has actually changed the information in the image.…Right now I can still undo that change.…But if I save this file,…then the changes would be permanent.…So let's go ahead and use Command + Z…in order to undo that filter.…
In order to make this a more flexible…and non-destructive, before I add my filter,…I'm gonna convert my layer to a smart object.…And there are several different ways that I can do this.…From the Layer menu, I can choose Smart Objects…and then Convert to Smart Object.…I can right-click on the Background layer…and choose to Convert to Smart Object.…Or, since I'm going to be adding a filter anyway,…I can use the Filter menu…and then choose Convert for Smart Filters.…
