We can now move on and add some more effects to make it more high-tech. I'm going start by turning on the Panels layer. Now this layer follows, because it's parented to the View layer. This is a special view of these solar panels as if she has some type of computer-assisted display. Let's make this more interesting. One way to do that is to experiment with blending modes and also apply different effects. With Panels selected I'm going to select the Hue/Saturation effect. I want to colorize it this time.
