Impression 2 on Multiple smart layers

I create composites where I apply Impression 2 to more than 1 smart layer. Each application has its own settings. I use smart layers because sometimes the original source needs edits after I've already started creating the final image.

It I make an edit to one layer, when I save and exit the layer, Impression is reapplied, but then goes on to reapply to any other layer, and use the settings of the layer edited, instead of keeping its own layer.

For example, I have a base layer with a pencil drawing effect. The next layer up has a Van Gogh effect, but only part of the layer is visible, with the pencil below visible everywhere else. Then I have a third layer with a chalk effect. The contents of each smart layer is the same. That way, I make an edit and whichever layer has that visible will immediately update.

The problem is when I make an edit to one smart layer (say the pencil drawing) and when I save the edit, all three layers will be switched to the Pencil effect.

With Impression 1, This worked. Can this be fixed in Impression 2?
