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.
