Effects Controls

Use the last four controls on the right side of the toolbar to apply the most common
effects: filters, behaviors, particle emitters, and replicators. Because these controls apply
effects to objects, they are not available unless an object is selected.

Description

Name

Icon

Activates a pop-up menu of filters. Choosing an
item from the menu applies that filter to the
object. Filters can only be applied to groups or
layers (images, text, shapes, particle emitters,
masks, replicators, generators, and so on). Filters
cannot be applied to cameras, lights, behaviors,
or other filters.

Add Filter

Activates a pop-up menu of behaviors. Choosing
an item from the menu applies that behavior to
the object. Behaviors can be applied to layers
(images, particle emitters, and so on), groups,
cameras, and lights.

Add Behavior

Uses the selected layer (shape, text, image, and
so on) as the source for a particle cell.

Make Particles

Uses the selected layer (shape, text, image, and
so on) as a source cell for a new replicator.
