Copying and Pasting Filters

Now that you've brilliantly colored (pun intended) the Detonator watch, it's time to add a splash of color to the Time Bomb watch. Instead of starting from scratch, you can copy and paste the Colorize filter that you've already adjusted. The easiest place to copy and paste filters is on the Layers tab.

You can copy and paste filters using the Edit menu, shortcut keys, or contextual menus. Let's use contextual menus on the Layers tab to copy the Colorize filter on the detonator_stealth_trans object and paste it onto the time_bomb object.

1.	Press Cmd-4 to open the Layers tab in the Project pane.
2.	Drag the right edge of the Project pane toward the right to extend the Layers tab until you can clearly see the filenames of the objects. The Colorize filter is located below the detonator_stealth_trans object on the Layers tab.
3.	On the Layers tab, Ctrl-click the Colorize filter to open the contextual menu for that particular filter.
4.	Select Copy from the contextual menu to copy the filter. You have copied the filter and its settings into memory.
5.	On the Layers tab, Ctrl-click the time_bomb object and select Paste from the contextual menu. A filter named Colorize copy appears on the Layers tab below the time_bomb object.
6.	Press Cmd-4 to close the Layers tab.
7.	Press Cmd-S to save your progress.
