Saving and transferring files
When you transfer a file to someone else, unless they have the same plug-ins installed on their computer,
they will not see the effects (this is similar to the problem of fonts; the recipient needs to have all the fonts
used in the design to see an accurate representation of the text in the document). In order to guarantee
that recipients can see the effects in your design, lock them before saving.
Because locked effects are saved in the design file as a bitmap, this means the files are much larger than
for unlocked Live Effects.
Copying Live Effects
For more on Copy and Paste, see Object Handling
.
You can copy Live Effects in your design from one object to another using Paste Attributes
, just as you can copy other object attributes. Simply select the object with the effect(s) you want to copy
and select "Edit -> Copy". Select the object or objects you want to copy the effects onto, and select
"Edit -> Paste Attributes".
Note that you cannot copy "old-style" Photoshop plug-in effects in this way because those effects do not
have the ability to re-apply themselves.
