			The advanced mode of the Effect Layer dialog allows you to edit the fine details of each effect layer. This includes the visuals of the effect layer, but also complex settings which define how the effect layer data is stored within the Route. This interface is quite complex, and it may require some research and experimentation to learn exactly what each option does.

			Because of the complixty of these settings they are explained in detail on their own pages, linked in the "See Also" section below.
