Not sure where or when I learned it, but its been in Photoshop for as
long as I've used it (v4 or v5). In fact, I didn't realize what you
were asking for earlier in the thread because I'd never done it
through a menu option! ;-)

Definitely don't have to turn things into Smart Objects (which were
added in CS2, or maybe CS, I believe) to get filters and effects.
They'll work on any layer if its rasterized (not text, not
paths/shapes), if your document is at least 16-bit (most filters don't
work on palettized images, but many work on grayscale 8-bit).
