Re: Diffue Glow Filter on a Separate Layer?

I want the effect over the entire image because it gives it a washed
out, flared out look that accentuates the light sources. Think of some
of the scenes in minority report for example.

I alsomwant the effect to live on a separate layer that I can toggle
on and off, but I want to be able to export the effect alone as a
raster and the image alone as a raster, separately.

Basically I want a top layer with transparency that houses the effect
alone, and the image as background underneath. I want to be able to
export the two and recreate the scene dynamically by drawing the
effects layer with transparency over the background art.

I think what Johan wrote fits the bill best. Haven't had the chance to
try it yet. Thanks!

From what you are saying it seems your best approach is to work on a
duplicate layer, or a duplicate layer converted to a "smart object". That way your background layer will always be intact and unadjusted.

I would suggest getting Matt Kloskowski's book "Layers" from Kelby Training, or Amazon.
