When applying layer effects, you can specify a
number of common options.
Displays a preview of the layer effect in
Preview
the image as you change the layer effect settings.
Mode Determines how the layer effect blends with
the underlying layers, which may or may not
include the active layer. For example, an inner
shadow blends with the active layer because the
effect is drawn on top of that layer, but a drop
shadow blends only with the layers beneath the
active layer. In most cases, the default mode for
each effect produces the best results. For more
information on blending modes, see "Specifying
layer blending modes" on page 272.
Opacity Sets the opacity of the layer effect as you
enter a value or drag the slider.
Specifies the color of a shadow, glow, or
Color
highlight as you click the color box and choose a
color, as described in "Using the Adobe Photoshop
Color Picker" on page 218.
