Processing Considerations
Processing is contingent upon PreRender, Blur, and
Animation settings. Depending on which options you choose, you can increase
the processing speed:
- When
more than one non-static layer has blur shadows, Global Blur is
faster, although all shadows are blurred with the same unique colour
and appear under all other layers.
- When
there is a combination of animated and non-animated layers, speed
depends on the blur shadows. If animated text has blurred shadows,
Global Blur is faster. If you want a static blurred shadow, and
a non-blurred animated layer, Layer Blur is faster.
- If
you have static layers only (no animation), speed depends on the
number of layers and whether PreRender can be used. Global Blur
is faster since it uses PreRender. The processing speed of Layer
Blur is the same with one or two layers. However, it becomes progressively
slower with a higher number of layers and if the layers use blur
shadows.
