6.0 Editing Styles
Define, or edit styles, and single layer effects
To find a broader overview of Styles, please see the main Styles page. Only editing of styles will be discussed here.
If you have applied a number of layer effects to a layer, and would like to save them as a style, you can do so by clicking the Effects bar in the Layers palette (illustration on main Styles page), which will bring up the Layer Style dialog box, shown below.
You can also edit existing styles which have been applied, as well as individual layer effects by clicking on either the Effects bar, to edit the entire style, or the individual effects name to edit that single effect.
As you can see, you can add, or subtract effects from the style, preview how it will look, on the right, and choose various blending modes.
For extenisve information about each of the different layer effects, as well as advanced blending options, please see the Reference: Effects section.
The illustration below shows what you would get if you clicked on the individual effect, Bevel and Emboss, in the Layers palette. Here you can edit all the variables available for that effect while previewing the changed settings in the box on the right side of the dialog box.
The dialog box that appears when you click on individual effects will be specific to that effect. As you can see, below, the features in the Gradient Overlay edit box are completely different from those in the Bevel and Emboss box shown above.
