3. Make sure each object is in each own layer.
4. Export it to photoshop and use either sample .psd or generate new document via Paperla-BaseGenerator action.

TIPS

• To create a good layered paper you need to find a good colors combination. You might need to experimenting and mix and match colors to find a good gradual color combination in your design.
• After applying effect, color might slightly look faded (see preview no. 2), this is to mimics paper color, you can adjust color via "Color Adjustment" folder.

NOTE

This effect is NOT an "instantly good, works like magic" effect, instead it's a helper to setup some base preset for paper layered effect. Further tweaking depending on your design is necessary.
