    New Tip - Maybe something changed from three years ago but the second option would not work for me. It kept offsetting the entire image. I experimented and for whatever reason, after moving the fill layer to below the contents, when you create the effect it s linked to the main image. You have to move the effect layer on top of the new fill layer. When I say on top, I mean you have to drop it on the fill layer. If you drag it below or anywhere above it does not work. This may have been automatic back then but not now!! Great tip!!
