Adding a smart filter in Photoshop is a great way to add an extra layer of protection to your images. Smart filters can be used to protect your images from accidental deletion or modification, and can also be used to help you keep track of changes made to an image over time. Here’s how to add a smart filter in Photoshop:

  1. Open the image you want to add a smart filter to in Photoshop.
  2. Click on the “Layer” menu at the top of the screen, then select “New Smart Object Layer.”
  3. A new layer will appear in your project. Double-click on this layer to open the “Smart Object” properties window.
  4. In the “Smart Object” properties window, click on the “Filters” tab.
  5. Click on the “Add Filter” button, then select the type of filter you want to add from the list that appears.
  6. Adjust the settings for your filter, then click on the “OK” button.
  7. Your smart filter will now be applied to your image!
PRO TIP: This article provides a detailed guide on how to add a smart filter in Photoshop. However, it is important to note that smart filters can only be added to layer groups, and not to individual layers. Additionally, smart filters can only be added to image layers, not to adjustment or fill layers.
