288 CHAPTER 11
Using Layers
2 Do one of the following:
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS),
•
and choose the desired layer effect from the
Layer > Effects menu. Applied effects have check-
marks next to their command names; removing a
layer effect removes the checkmark.
Choose the desired layer effect from the top of
•
the Effects dialog box, and deselect Apply.
To remove all layer effects applied to a layer:
1 In the Layers palette, select the layer containing
the effects you want to remove.
2 Choose Layer > Effects > Clear Effects.
Converting layer effects to layers
To customize or fine-tune the appearance of layer
effects, you can convert the effects to regular image
layers. Once you have converted an effect to image
layers, you can enhance the effect by painting or
applying commands and filters. However, you can
no longer edit the effect using the Effects dialog
box, and the effect will no longer update as you
change the original image layer.
To convert a layer effect to image layers:
In the Layers palette, select the layer containing
1
the effect you want to convert.
Choose Layer > Effects > Create Layer(s).
2
You can now modify and restack the new layers
just like regular layers. Some effects (for example,
inner glow) convert to layers within a clipping
group.
