Modifying a Smart Filter
Once you add a Smart Filter, you can go back and modify the ef ect, even if you've added
a mask, as in this case.
1
In the Butterl y 4 layer, double-click on the Motion Blur ef ect; the Motion Blur
dialog box appears. You may have to click and drag down and to the left inside the
i lter preview window to see the image. Change the angle to 87 degrees by clicking
and dragging the dial to the right. Press OK when you are done.
Changing the angle of the motion blur now requires you to go back with the
paintbrush and modify the mask.

Click on the layer mask thumbnail to the left of Smart Filters to activate it. Then
begin to paint from the top down, leaving just a blur at the bottom of the butterl y.
If you mask out too much of the ef ect, you can press X to switch to white as the
foreground color to restore the ef ect in the desired areas.
3
Click on the Visibility icon ( ) next to the Smart Filter mask. This turns the mask of
completely, and can help identify areas af ected by a i lter that you may have missed.
Click on the Visibility icon again to turn the mask back on and clean up any areas
where you don't want the i lter applied.
Turn of the ef ects of the mask by
selecting the Visibility icon.
