Note: Perform any rotations or transforms to the image prior
to applying Dfine 2.0 as a Smart Filter. Applying a rotation or
transformation after applying Dfine 2.0 as a Smart Filter can
result in a different filter effect which will require a new profile to
be created for the image. Also, any crops done to an image after
converting the layer to a Smart Object will not be shown in the
Dfine 2.0 interface, the image prior to crop will be displayed.

Chapter 4: Workflow
Note: When batch processing with Dfine 2.0, the filter effect is not
applied to a separate layer. To apply Dfine 2.0 to a separate layer
while recording the action, duplicate the layer prior to applying
Dfine 2.0. This ensures that the batch process includes a new
filtered layer for each image.

Note: When batch processing with Dfine 2.0, Control Points used
in the initial filter settings will not be applied due to the location
specific nature of Control Points. All other filter settings will be
used in the action. To selectively apply the filter with a batch
process, we suggest using the Color Ranges method as the batch
process can retain the color information.
