Combining lenses with the image background

To apply a lens’s adjustment and special effects to the pixels of an image, you combine the lens with the image background. Combining a lens with the image background reduces the file size of the image and lets you save the image to a non-native file format. Once a lens is combined with the image background, the lens cannot be selected or modified.
