A progress indicator in the status bar (Windows) or progress bar (Mac OS) lets you gauge
the time remaining until the filter is applied.
Blending filter effects (Photoshop)
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. (See
and fill layers (Photoshop)" on page
Note: The Fade command can also modify the effects of using the Extract command,
Liquefy command, and Brush Strokes filters.
To fade the effect of a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment:
1 Apply a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment to an image or selection.
2 With the affected area still selected, choose Edit > Fade.
3 Select the Preview option to preview the effect.
4 Drag the slider to adjust the opacity, from 0% (transparent) to 100%. (See
opacity, flow, strength, or exposure" on page
5 For Mode, choose a blending mode. (See
6 Click OK.
Note: The Color Dodge, Color Burn, Lighten, Darken, Difference, and Exclusion modes do
not work on Lab images.
Loading images and textures
To produce their effects, some filters load and use other images, such as textures and
displacement maps. These filters include the Conté Crayon, Displace, Glass, Lighting
Effects, Rough Pastels, Texture Fill, Texturizer, Underpainting, and Custom filters.
Not all of these filters load images or textures in the same way. (See
