Applying layer styles


When you apply a style to a layer, an "f" icon () appears to the right of the layer's name in the Layers palette. Layer effects are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
Layer style added

By default, layer styles are cumulative. For example, if you apply two styles to the same layer, the attributes of the second style are added to the attributes of the first style. You can replace the attributes of the first style with those of the second style by using a keyboard modifier.

To remove a layer style, click the Step Backward button () in the shortcuts bar.

To apply a layer style to a layer:

Do one of the following:
  • Click a style in the Layer Styles palette to apply it to the currently selected layer.
  • Drag the style onto a layer in the Layers palette.
  • Drag the style to the document window, and release the mouse button when the pointer is over the layer content to which you want to apply the style.
  • Hold down Shift while dragging the style to replace any existing effects on the destination layer.

    • To hide or show all layer styles in the image:

    Choose Layer > Layer Style > Hide All Effects, or choose Layer > Layer Style > Show All Effects.
