Modifying SpriteEffects
You may edit each effect or change the order in which the
SpriteEffects are listed in the SpriteEffects palette.
The SpriteEffects palette also allows you to
Change the settings of each effect
Change the size of the effect area
Add or remove an effect that has been assigned to an object
Show or hide any effect that has been assigned to an object
Follow along in the next lesson and experience the powerful capabil-
ities of SpriteEffects for yourself.
To change the order of SpriteEffects
1
Select the ground shape under the bicyclist to which you
applied multiple SpriteEffects in the previous lesson.
2
In the SpriteEffects palette, select and drag the Gaussian Blur
effect below the Add Noise effect. Doing so alters the object so that
Canvas applies the Add Noise effect prior to the Gaussian Blur
effect.
3
Select and drag the Add Noise effect so that it appears after the
Gaussian Blur effect to restore your original settings.
To change the settings of SpriteEffects
1
Double-click the Add Noise effect to open the Add Noise set-
tings.
2
Change the Noise Amount to 50 and deselect the Monochro-
matic checkbox.
3
Click OK.
To use selection masks with SpriteEffects
A symbol to the left of each effect indicates the state of the selection
mask for this effect. Click the symbol to toggle the mask on and
off
.
When the selection mask is on, the effect is limited to the
vector graphic.
When the selection mask is off, the effect spreads through-
out the entire bounding box area.
