| Apply Effects to a Raster Layer | 
|  | 
| In this example we convert a group of Vector Layers to a single Raster Layer and apply the Invert effect to it. | 
|  | 
|  | 
| Step 1: Open a layered image | 
| Open a layered image in pas format or open a template from the Template Library. In the menu click File > Open > File (Ctrl+O) or File > Open > Template Library (Ctrl+Shift+O). Alternatively, you can create a new image and add some layers to your image. In this example we use the template named 'Star'. | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
| Step 2: The Layers Palette | 
| In the Layers Palette click on the layer group you want to work with. Press the right mouse button and click 'Convert to Raster Layer' to convert your layer group into a raster layer. | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
| Step 3: Apply the effect | 
| You can apply any effect to a raster layer. In the menu click Effect > Colors > Invert to invert the colors of your layer. | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
| Step 4: Save your image | 
| Save your image in Pop Art Studio (.pas) file format. If you choose to save the image in a different file format you will flatten the image and lose all the layer information. |
