Blending filter effects and setting options
To blend effects
The Fade command changes the opacity and blending mode of any filter, painting tool, erasing tool, or color
adjustment. The Fade command blending modes are a subset of those in the painting and editing tools options
(excluding the Behind and Clear modes). Applying the Fade command is similar to applying the filter effect on a
separate layer and then using the layer opacity and blending mode controls.
Note: Th
e Fade command can also modify the effects of using the Extract command, Liquify command, and Brush
Strokes filters.
1 Apply a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment to an image or selection.
2 Choose Edit > Fade. Select the Preview option to preview the effect.
3 Drag the slider to adjust the opacity, from 0% (transparent) to 100%.
4 Choose a blending mode from the Mode menu.
Note: Th
e Color Dodge, Color Burn, Lighten, Darken, Difference, and Exclusion blending modes do not work on Lab
images.
5 Click OK.

areas undefined (or unprotected) by the filter in the following ways:

To use texture and glass surface controls

options make images appear as if they were painted onto textures such as canvas and brick or viewed through glass
blocks.

Crayon, or Texture > Texturizer.
