layers comps do not integrate smart filters?

Hi guys,

Correct me if I am wrong, but layers comps do not integrate smart filters for me

Here after

The Original doesn't include any filter nor settings

The Anderson is supposed to includes everything smart filters and settings

When switching from Original to Anderson the filters are omitted.

And getting back to original is worse because if the smart filters are still visible, they do not revert to Original…

So what is happening here?

Best ya'll

You are correct in that layer comps do not switch smart filters on/off. However a quick workaround is to duplicate the smart object and turn filters on in the original and off in the duplicate. Then use layer comps to switch between the two smart object layers. If you open the smart object and make changes both original and duplicate will update.

Thanks Dave

Including the smart filters visibility should be added to the layers comps feature…
