Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse. Three different layer styles applied to text The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text. Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result. When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly. Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box. Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer. Drop Shadow Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders. Glow (Outer) Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider. Glow (Inner) Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider. Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content. Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down. Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke. Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke. You can apply special effects to a layer, hide or show the styles in a layer, and even change the scale of a layer style (for example, decrease or increase the size of a glow effect). It’s easy to copy a style from one layer to another.

  1. Select a layer in the Layers panel.
  2. In the Effects panel, choose Layer Styles from the category menu.
    • Select a style, and click Apply.
    • Double-click a style.
    • Drag a style onto a layer.

A style icon indicates a layer style is applied to the layer. If you don’t like the result, press Ctrl+Z (Command + Z in Mac OS) to remove the style, or choose Edit > Undo. You can also drag the style to the image, where it is applied to the selected layer.

  1. Choose one of the following:
    • Layer > Layer Style > Hide All Effects.
    • Layer > Layer Style > Show All Effects.

How do I get the Styles tab in Photoshop?

Photoshop styles are works of art that can be applied to text, objects, vector shapes, illustrations, or photos. Unlike Microsoft styles, which are basically just a collection of attributes (such as bold, italic, underline) and minor effects (such as shadows, reflections, glowing halos), Photoshop uses layers to contain text and images, and those layers can be “decorated” with a style. Photoshop Styles are accessed through the Styles panel, which you can add to your Photoshop desktop through the Window tab: Select Window > Styles and the panel appears. I combine the Styles panel with the Layers panel and leave both open all the time. Notice that Photoshop provides 20 “free” styles in four categories (Basic, Natural, Fur, and Fabric) to get you started.

How do I apply a style to all Layers in Photoshop?

Here are my favorite tips, tricks, and techniques for working with Layer Effects and Layer Styles in Photoshop.10 Tips for Working with Layer Effects and Layer Styles in Photoshop — This video reveals 10 of my favorite techniques. Expanding and Collapsing Layer Effects— When Layer Effects are applied to a layer, the effects are displayed in a list under the layer in the Layers panel.

Depending on how many effects are applied, as well as how many layers have these effects, the Layers panel can quickly become crowded. • To collapse the Layer Effects stack, in the Layers panel, click the disclosure triangle to the right of the “fx” icon. • Option -click (Mac) | Alt -click (Win) the disclosure triangle on the Layers panel to the right of the “fx” icon to collapse/expand all Layer Effects in the document.

Note: the first time to you click, Photoshop will zoom to the contents of the layer, the second time you use the shortcut, Photoshop will collapse/expand the stacks. • When adding Layer Effects, you can choose to automatically collapse the stack in the Layers panel (in order save space) by selecting the Layers panel fly-out menu, choosing Panel Options, and unchecking Expand New Effects.

Hide and Show Layer Effects­— In the Layer’s panel, click the eye icon next to the left of the word Effects to toggle the visibility of all effects or, click the eye icon next to a specific effect to toggle its visibility. • To use the context sensitive menus, Control -click (Mac) | Right -click (Win) the “fx” icon on the layer with the Layer Effect (in the Layers panel) and choose Disable Layer Effects.

• To Hide Layer Effects on all Layers Control -click (Mac) | Right -click (Win) the “fx” icon on the layer with the Layer Effect (in the Layers panel) and choose Hide All Effects. Deleting Layer Effects— In the Layers panel, drag the “fx” icon (or the word Effects) to the trash to delete a Layer Effect.

  1. Drag the name of the Layer Effect (Stroke, Drop Shadow etc.) to the trash to delete an individual effect.
  2. To use the context sensitive menus, Control -click(Mac) | Right -click (Win)) -click the “fx” icon (or on a Layer Effect) and choose ClearLayer Style.
  3. Moving and Duplicating Layer Effects— You can quickly move and/or duplicate a Layer Effect using the Layers panel: • To move a Layer Effect from one layer to another, drag the “fx” icon (or the word Effects).

Option -drag (Mac) | Alt -drag (Win) to duplicate the Layer Effect. • To move an individual Layer Effect from one layer to another, drag the name of the individual effect (Stroke, Drop Shadow etc.). Option -drag (Mac) | Alt -drag (Win) the name of the effect to duplicate the individual effect.

  1. Editing Layer Effects/Styles— Double click on a layer Effect, the Words Effects or the “fx” icon to edit the Layer Effect.
  2. Saving and Applying Layer Effects to Multiple Layers­— This video ( Adding Layer Effects/Styles to Multiple Layers ) shows three easy to save and add layer Effects/Styles to multiple layers including: • To copy and paste, Control -click (Mac) | Right -click (Win) the “fx” icon on the layer with the style (in the Layers panel) and select Copy Layer Style from the context sensitive menu.

Then, select the layer(s) that need the layer style applied and Control -click (Mac) | Right -click (Win) in the layer (to the right of the name) and select Paste Layer Style. • To save the Layer Effect to the Styles panel, in the Layer Style dialog, click the “New Style” button or, on the Styles panel, click the plus (+) icon.

To apply the layer Effect drag and drop the Style from the Styles panel onto the layer in the image area, drag and drop the Style on the layer in the Layer’s panel, or select a layer(s) in the Layers panel and click the desired Style (in the Styles panel) to apply the Style to all selected layers. • To save the Style to a Library, click the plus (+) icon on the Libraries panel and choose Layer Style to add the Layer Style to a Library.

When you save Layer Effects to your Libraries panel, not only can you group them in different Libraries which are easily accessible, but you can add additional elements such as logos, text styles, colors, photos and other assets for a specific project or client.

  1. Because the contents of a Library is stored in the cloud, you can then access the Layer Style in Photoshop on any machine, in any location, by signing in with your Adobe ID.
  2. And you can share a Library with others by selecting the Invite People or Get Link options from the Libraries panel flyout menu.

To apply the Layer Style, select a layer(s), and click on the style in the Libraries panel. This video ( Three Reasons to use the Libraries Panel in Photoshop ) walks through the advantages of using Libraries in Photoshop. Applying Layer Effects to Layer Groups— Layer Effects can also be added to Layer Groups.

One advantage would be that if you need to make a change to the Layer Effect, you only have to change the Layer Effect that’s applied to the Layer Group instead of each individual layer within the group. And, any layer that is added to the Group will automatically have the Layer Effect applied). • However, Photoshop treats all of the layers within the group as if they are merged before adding the Layer Effect.

In the examples below, you can see the difference between applying the Layer Effect to individual layers vs applying it to a Layer Group. How To Add Styles To Photoshop Layer Effects added to individual layers (Stroke, Drop Shadow, Gradient Overlay). How To Add Styles To Photoshop Layer Effects added to the Layer Group (Stroke, Drop Shadow, Gradient Overlay). Create Custom Layer Styles Default— In order to customize the default settings for a Layer Style, select Layer > Layer Style (or click the “fx” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel). In the Layer Style dialog, make the desired changes, and clicking the Make Default button. At any time you can return to the Adobe Default settings by clicking the Reset to Default button. The Order in which Layer Effects are Applied— Layer Effects are listed in the Layer Style dialog in the order in which they are applied to the content in the layer. For example, the Drop Shadow effect is applied (or will be rendered) below all other Effects, the Bevel and Emboss will rendered on top of any other Effects. This should help when visualizing how multiple effects will be applied to the contents of a layer or group. Multiple Instances of a Single Effect— Several effects (Stroke, Inner Shadow, Color Overlay, Gradient Overlay, Pattern Overlay, and Drop Shadow) can be added multiple times with different settings. In the Layer Style dialog, click the plus (+) icon to the right of the Layer Effects name to add up to 10 additional instances of each effect. Use the up/down arrows at the bottom of the Layer Style dialog to change the stacking order of the effects (or drag the name of the effect in the Layers panel). Setting Custom Global Lighting Defaults— To change the default Angle and Altitude for the Global Light attribute (which several of the Effects use), first close all open documents. Then select Layer > Layer Style > Global Light and make your desired changes. These new setting will become the default settings for all new documents. Resizing Layer Effects— Selecting Image > Image Size and changing the size of an image will scale the Layer Effects applied to layers within the image (as long as the Scale Styles option is checked in the Image Size dialog box), keeping the Layer Effects in proportion to the layers to which they are applied. However, when using Edit > Free Transform to scale an individual layer that has a Layer Effect applied to it, Photoshop will not scale the Layer Effects. For example, if you apply a stroke of 6 pixels on a layer, using Free transform to scale the image larger or smaller, Photoshop will not change the Layer Effects – the layer will still have a stroke of 6 pixels applied. To scale the Layer Effects, do one of the following: • Note the percentage the layer was scaled using Free Transform and then enter that value in the Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effect dialog box. This is much easier than changing the values in the Layer Style dialog (especially when multiple effects have been applied). • Or, before using Free transform on the layer with the Style/Effect, convert the layer to a Smart Object and then transform. Converting Layer Effects into Layers— To convert a Layer Effect into a raster layer(s) choose Layer > Rasterize > Layer Style. Using Layer Effects to Create a Transparent Watermark— To hide the text (or any image information on a layer) but keep the layer effects visible (a drop shadow for example), decrease the Fill amount on the Layers panel. Note: decreasing the Opacity amount will decrease the layer information as well as any Layer Styles applied. This video ( Creating Transparent Logos for Watermarks and Overlays in Photoshop ), demonstrates how to use the Fill slider on the Layers panel to hide the content on the layer while maintaining the applied layer styles. Applying Layer Effects to Layers with Masks— When applying Layer Effects to layers with masks (Layer Masks or Vector Masks), choose the Blending Options (in the Layer Style dialog) and enable “Layer Mask Hides Effects”/”Vector Mask Hides Effects” to restrict the Layer Effect to effect only the visible portion of the layer. Adding a Color Wash to a Single Layer Using a Layer Effect— To add a color wash (or color overlay) to a layer, select the layer and click the “fx” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. In the Layer Style dialog, choose Gradient Overlay, s et the Blend Mode to Color and choose a gradient preset by clicking on the small downward facing triangle to the right of the gradient (or, create your own gradient by clicking in the gradient area and using the Gradient Editor). Note: the Layer Style must be applied to a layer, not the Background, to turn the background into a layer, double click the word Background. How To Add Styles To Photoshop Advanced Blending “Knockout” Options— This video ( 10 Tips for Working with Layer Effects and Layer Styles in Photoshop) demonstrates how to use the Layer Effects Knockout options (shallow and deep) to cut a hole in a layer and reveal layers below depending on their stacking order. In the Layer Styles dialog, under Blending Options, I moved the black slider for the Underlying Layer to the right to hide the dark foreground values of the cloud image. In order to create a smooth transition, Option + (Mac) | Alt + (Win) click and drag the black triangle to split it into two. How To Add Styles To Photoshop It’s OK if the rock in the foreground is semi transparent at this point – you want to focus on the “transitional areas” – where the new sky (the clouds) will meet the ocean and the top of the rocks. To bring back the solid rocks in the foreground, I made a copy of the rock layer and moved it above the new sky (the clouds) layer in the Layers panel. Then, I added a layer mask and painted with black to hide the drab sky and reveal the clouds below, while keeping the rocks solid. Because this example has a fairly straightforward horizon to mask, you might feel that I’m making this process or technique overly complicated. However, the Blend if sliders can be tremendously useful when masking detailed objects such as a tree against a sky. In fact, you can even change the Blend If options to blend individual color channels. Note: If any changes have been made in the Layer Style dialog under the Advanced Blending area, a new Blending Effects icon is displayed on the layer in the Layers panel. Flatten All Layer Effects — To quickly flatten all layer effects select File > Scripts > Flatten All Layer Effects Advanced Blending (1), Blend If (1), Color Overlay (1), Drop Shadow (1), Fill (4), Global Lighting (1), Gradient Overlay (2), Inner Glow (1), Inner Shadow (1), Knockout (1), Layer Effects (16), Layer Groups (8), Layer Mask Vector Mask (1), Layer Styles (13), Layers (37), Libraries Panel (3), Opacity (3), Outer Glow (1), Pattern Overlay (2), Rasterize (1), Resize (1), Stroke (3), Styles Panel (2) Copyright © 2023 Julieanne Kost.

Where are Photoshop presets?

Note – Photoshop’s Migrate Presets feature lets you easily transfer presets from the previous version of the program (in CC, it only transfers presets from the most current version of Photoshop; other versions are simply ignored). The first time you crack open Photoshop CC, the program kindly asks whether you want to transfer your presets from the most recent version hanging around on your machine.

If you accept, your goodies are copied over to CC (if the older presets have the same name as the newer ones, Photoshop copies only the newer ones). If you don’t encounter the Migrate Presets option when you first launch CC, it means the installer didn’t find any presets to copy over. If you didn’t migrate your presets when you first launched the Photoshop, you can do it anytime by choosing Edit→Presets→Migrate Presets, or by resetting your preferences (the first Note on Note explains how).

Happily, migrating presets in CC doesn’t require you to restart the program before using ’em. Once you’ve got your own custom settings for tools, styles, or what have you, feel free to share them with the masses. You can share them with other computers (handy when the whole team needs to use the same color swatches or brushes, say) and upload them to the Web (for the whole world to download).

To share all your presets —including actions, keyboard shortcuts, menu customizations, workspaces, brushes, swatches, gradients, styles, patterns, contours, custom shapes, and tools—choose Edit→Presets→Export/Import Presets. In the resulting dialog box, use the Export Presets tab to tell Photoshop which goodies you want to share (say, actions and workspaces), and then click Export Presets (see Figure 1-18 ). Photoshop opens the “Choose a Folder” dialog box—just pick a spot that’s easy for you to find, and then click Open. Photoshop creates a new folder named Exported Presets in the location you picked and dutifully lets you know that it has put your presets there. To import presets, click the Import Presets tab, and then click Select Import Folder. In the resulting dialog box, navigate to where the presets live on your hard drive and click Open. Back in the Export/Import Presets dialog box, choose the presets you want to import from the left-hand list (or click the Add All button), and then click Import Presets. Figure 1-18. Using the Export/Import Presets command is a great way for big companies, schools, and design firms to share their presets across a whole army of computers. Doing this ensures consistency and accuracy in the artwork they create, and can boost production speed through the use of carefully crafted actions (see Chapter 18). To choose an item for exporting or importing, double-click it in the column on the left, or single-click it and then use the direction buttons (circled) to add or remove presets from the list. To share just a few presets (excluding actions, keyboard shortcuts, menu customizations, and workspaces) create a preset library of your own by opening the Preset Manager (Edit→Presets→Preset Manager) and choosing the presets you want to share (Shift-click or ⌘-/Ctrl-click to highlight ’em). Next, click the Save Set button, and in the resulting Save dialog box, give your custom library a name. Unless you pick a different location on your hard drive, Photoshop automatically saves it in the folders where it stores all custom settings. When everything looks good, click Save. Once you’ve saved your custom library, you can email it to folks or upload it to a website for others to download. If you’re uploading it to the Web, make sure the file keeps the extension Photoshop gave it (.abr for brushes, for example), and that it doesn’t have any spaces in its name (use “DragonScalesBrush” rather than “Dragon Scales Brush,” say). If you’re on the receiving end of a preset library, open the Preset Manager and click Load. Navigate to where the library lives, and then click Open. (Alternatively, you can choose Edit→Presets→Export/Import Presets, and then click the Import Presets tab shown in Figure 1-18,) The next time you use a tool that has custom presets, you’ll see the new library’s options in the tool’s Preset Picker menu. To add to the fun, you can also rename individual presets. In the Preset Manager dialog box, choose the relevant library from the Preset Type menu, and then click the soon-to-be-renamed preset to activate it. Click the Rename button, type a new moniker in the Name field, and then click OK. To delete a preset library you never use, choose it from the Preset Manager’s Preset Type menu, and then click Delete.
