Copying Styles

Aside from saving your own custom style settings in the Styles palette, an alternative way to apply edited styles is to copy them. There are two ways you can do this:
- In the Layers palette, select the layer that contains the style you’d like to copy. Then choose Copy Layer Style from the Layer --> Layer Style submenu or from the pop-up menu (rightclick with a two-button mouse, or Control+click on the Mac). Select the  layer you’d like to apply the style to and choose Paste Layer Style from the Layer --> Layer Style submenu or from the pop-up menu.
- Option/Alt+drag the layer style fx icon from the styled layer to another layer in the Layers palette.

Note also that layer styles can be copied and pasted or Option/Alt+dragged between two entirely different documents.
