Hi

I try to copy smart filters from one document to another one but it doesnt work for me.

I do it like that:

Layers in both documents are converted to Smart Objects. I arrange the documents 2up-vertical.

The Layer thumbnails are active. I click the Smart Filter and drag it into the second document.

But it didnt work.

Any idea what I do wrong?

Are you grabbing the little thingy on teh bottom right to move them?

Because the receiving layer also needs to be a smart object. Just convert it to a smart object and now you can easily drag the smart filter into it

Hi

I've looked at your video and can't see what is stopping it. I can do exactly the same here and it works.

Have you tried resetting preferences?

Yes I have tried to reset but no change. I can do it manually but I have to do about 100 images, 3 different images with 35 different filters/each. I dont understand why it was working before and now not anymore. Strange

When you say it "didn't work" was the filter not applied at all or is it that you don't see it in the layers panel? If the latter you may need to expand the layer in the layer panel to see the filter info as below

If it has not been applied at all, have you checked that the second image has an image mode and bit depth compatible with the filter
