Styles
Pick one with Style. Each shows only its own settings, and is drawn exactly as the effect it was before. A scene made with the old effect opens with it brought over to its style.
| Style | What it does | Was |

What every effect has
Every effect in a stack can be turned off, has an Amount and can be limited to part of the layer with a mask. They're listed on the effects page, and Effects and masks shows how to use them.
