Command F remembers the last filter, but only in that image, not across other images


Recommended Posts

Found a frustrating limitation of the "command F" to repeat the last filter I just did: it works as expected (again, as it does in Photoshop) allowing me to perform some filter, then repeat the filter I just did by making a new selection and hitting command F. 

However, it only "remembers" this inside the file I'm working on. If I've got a bunch of files, for example a bunch of faces I want to apply a mosaic to, I have to manually re-select the setting again, slowing me down. 

It'd be super great if, whatever filter I applied last to any file were available in the "command F repeat" no matter what file I had opened, which is the expected behaivour.

If you want to use it across multiple images you might consider using a Live Filter, if one is available. That way you can copy the layer that is created and paste it into other images.

All the settings for Tools, etc. are maintained separately for each image that is open. I don't think this is a bug, but it might make a good feature request if it hasn't been requested before.
