- [Instructor] All right, next,…let's dive into a workflow example.…Here we'll take a look at how we can apply…multiple Smart Filter effects.…We'll explore how we can change those effects…by modifying their opacity or blending mode.…We'll also talk about how we can clean up…or organize our Smart Filters as well.…All right, well, let's begin…with this photograph that we have here…I captured out in the desert in California.…I first need to convert my layer to a Smart Object layer.…One way to do that is to right-click…or Control + Click on the layer and choose…Convert to Smart Object.…

Or, you can you go to the Filter pull-down menu…and choose Convert for Smart Filters.…After having done that,…I always like to rename the layer, there,…so I'll go ahead and call this one Joshua Tree,…because that's where it was captured,…out in Joshua Tree in the desert.…Next is to go to my Filter pull-down menu…and to begin my workflow.…Now, most images need to be sharpened somewhat,…so I'll go to Filter and Sharpen, then choose Smart Sharpen.…
