<p>Pardon the noob question – If I have say a &quot;brightness&quot; effect and a &quot;sharpen&quot; effect appearing in this order (first is on top of the other), will &quot;brightness&quot; be applied first, then &quot;sharpen&quot;? or the other way around?</p>

Pardon the noob question – If I have say a "brightness" effect and a "sharpen" effect appearing in this order (first is on top of the other), will "brightness" be applied first, then "sharpen"? or the other way around?
