Repeating and fading actions

You can repeat or fade actions. When you repeat an action, it is reapplied to the image, producing a stronger visual effect. When you fade an action, it is gradually removed. You can also use a merge mode to modify the fade effects. For more information about merge modes, see “Understanding merge modes.”
