Convert a layer style to image layers

To customize or fine-tune the appearance of layer styles, you can convert the layer styles to regular image layers. After you convert a layer style to
image layers, you can enhance the result by painting or applying commands and filters. However, you can no longer edit the layer style on the
original layer, and the layer style no longer updates as you change the original image layer.
Note: The layers produced by this process may not result in artwork that exactly matches the version using layer styles. You may see an alert
when you create the new layers.
1. In the Layers panel, select the layer containing the layer style that you want to convert.
2. Choose Layer > Layer Style > Create Layers.
You can now modify and restack the new layers in the same way as regular layers. Some effects—for example, Inner Glow—convert to
layers within a clipping mask.

Create and manage preset styles

You can create a custom style and save it as a preset, which is then available from the Styles panel. You can save preset styles in a library and
load or remove them from the Styles panel as you need them.
