Abstract
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to applying effects to a target via compositing rendering layers. In aspects, an intent is determined and a area of a target copied to a surface based on the intent. Then, rendering may continue to the target without changing to another target. Later, the surface is composited back to the target to apply an effect to the target.
