"Same effect as previous layer"?

[crusher]

This may be an absolutely stupid question but here goes... How does the "same effect as previous layer" setting work? I thought it would make a layer get the same effect as the layer placed above it (layer 1 get the same same layer effect as layer 2 etc) but it looks like I'm wrong.

Tried on both Fusion 2.5 and MMF2 with the same results.

It's the opposite. Layer 2 gets the same effect as layer 1.

Man do I feel stupid. I tried that yesterday but I must have screwed up somehow. Works perfectly. Thanks Yves!
