To convert a dynamic layer to a default layer

Converting dynamic layers

At some point, you may want to finalize the dynamic plug-in effect and convert the result to a default layer. This allows you to work with the image in ways not possible when the effect is held in a dynamic layer.

Converting a dynamic layer captures its current appearance to a pixel-based layer. After a dynamic layer is converted, you can no longer adjust the effect. The following operations automatically generate a prompt to convert a dynamic layer:

•

painting on a dynamic layer

•

applying an additional effect or dynamic plug-in

•

dropping a dynamic layer

•

collapsing a group that contains a dynamic layer

•

saving to a non-RIFF format

To convert a dynamic layer to a default layer

1

In the Layers panel, choose a dynamic layer.

2

Click the Layer options button

, and choose Convert To Default Layer.
