limiting effects to certain layers

is it possible to limit the effects to certain layers

for instance. I want layer 3 to have a magnify effect on it

we should see layer 2 get magnified according to the image on layer 3

and layer 1 underneath layer 2, but not getting magnified by layer 3

if there is another way to do it with offscreen layers or canvases or something

that would be fine, too.

thanks.

bump (sorry so soon), I can see this is going to getting drowned rather quickly though.

You can't do that with layer effects, but you could put a canvas on one layer with "Grab before rendering" enabled and a magnify effect.

thanks..I can't find "grab before rendering" though

nevermind

found it! the "force to texture" thing?

thanks, that's exactly what I needed!
