Here are some other helpful tips to keep in mind when you’re using the Filter
Gallery:
✓Delete an applied filter: Select it in the list in the lower-right area of the
dialog box and click the Delete Effect Layer button (the trash can icon)
at the bottom of the dialog box.
✓Edit an applied filter’s settings: Select it from the list and make any necessary changes. Click OK to reapply. Although you can edit a particular
filter’s settings, that edit affects any subsequent filters you’ve added
after applying that particular filter.
✓Rearrange the order of the applied filters: Simply select and drag the
filter up or down within the list.
Rearranging the order of the filters you’re using changes the results of
applying the filters.
✓Resize the Filter Gallery dialog box: Drag the lower-right corner.
✓Hide the Filter menu and provide the maximum real estate for the
preview box: Click the arrow to the left of the OK button.
✓Choose any of the filters found in the Filter Gallery from the Filter menu
itself: Choosing a Filter menu filter launches the Filter Gallery automatically —
but not all filters are available in the Filter Gallery. You have to access some
of them individually from the Filter menu.
