Converting layer styles to layers
To customize or fine-tune the appearance of layer styles, you can convert the layer styles
to regular image layers. Once you have converted 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 will no longer update 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. In Photoshop, you may see an alert when you create the new
layers.
To convert a layer style to image layers:
1 In the Layers palette, select the layer containing the layer style 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 group.
Using adjustment layers and fill layers (Photoshop)
Adjustment layers and fill layers add another level of flexibility to working with layers.
Adjustment layers allow you to experiment with color and apply tonal adjustments to an
image; fill layers allow you to quickly add color, patterns, and gradient elements to an
image. If you change your mind about the results, you can go back and edit or remove the
adjustment or fill at any time.
