Question

You have developed layer effects and smart filter settings on a sample file you would like to apply to all the images. Which two options would be the best ways to apply the effects to the rest of the images?

Answer 1

To apply the layer effects and smart filter settings to multiple images, you can either copy and paste the layer with the effects onto each image or create a Photoshop Action that applies the effects.

Step-by-step explanation:

To apply the layer effects and smart filter settings to the rest of the images, you can use two different options:

1. Option 1: Copy the layer with the effects and settings and paste it onto each image. To do this, select the layer with the effects and settings, then use the Ctrl/Cmd+C keyboard shortcut to copy it. Next, select the image you want to apply the effects to and use the Ctrl/Cmd+V keyboard shortcut to paste the layer on top. Repeat this process for each image.
2. Option 2: Create a Photoshop Action that applies the layer effects and settings. To do this, open the Actions panel by going to Window > Actions. Create a new Action by clicking the New Action button at the bottom of the panel. With the new Action selected, click the Record button to start recording. Apply the layer effects and settings to the current image. Once you're done, click the Stop button to stop recording. Now, you can apply the Action to each image by selecting them and clicking the Play button in the Actions panel.
