applied to a source media file in the Batch window. This way, you can open the Preview
window and see the effects of your filter adjustments.)

4 Make adjustments to any filters that you want added to the setting.
Note: A checkmark appears automatically as soon as you make adjustments to any filter.

The filter is automatically
selected if you make any
adjustments to it.
