Managing layer styles
The Styles palette and the Styles pop-up palette in
the options bar for the pen and shape tools can
hold many layer styles. You can easily change how
they display in either palette. (The Styles palette
displays in the options bar for the pen and shape
tools when you choose Create New Shape Layer.)
(See "Using pop-up palettes" on page 62.)
You can also load or save layer styles using the
Preset Manager. (See "Managing libraries with the
Preset Manager (Photoshop)" on page 85.)
Exiting Photoshop saves the contents of the
current pop-up palette in the Preferences file.
Applying layer styles
Layer styles are composed of one or more layer
effects. You can apply layer styles to layers in any
image. Once you apply a layer effect to a layer,
you have created a custom layer style composed of
that single effect. You can use a layer style either to
replace all of the current layer effects applied to a
layer, or to add layer effects while preserving the
existing layer effects. After you have applied a layer
effect, you can customize it. (See "Using the Layer
Style dialog box (Photoshop)" on page 220.)
You can also save the resulting layer style for
ease of reuse.
Layer styles are composed of a combination of one
or more of the following effects:
Drop Shadow to add a shadow that falls behind
•
the contents on the layer.
Inner Shadow to add a shadow that falls just
•
inside the edges of the layer contents, giving the
layer a recessed appearance.
Outer Glow and Inner Glow to add glows that
•
emanate from the outside or inside edges of the
layer contents.
Bevel and Emboss to add various combinations
•
of highlights and shadows to a layer.
