Layer styles are similar to adjustment layers (and different from filters) in that they allow you to edit applied effects dynamically without having to create a smart object version of the image layer first. This means that you can apply editable effects to a selected image, shape, or type layer without permanently altering any pixels. Because they work nondestructively, layer styles are referred to as live effects. Some of these live effects include drop shadows, inner and outer glows, and bevels.
Layer styles can be incorporated into your work in many ways. You can apply styles to individual image layers of a composition, or to an entire layered composition (after it has been flattened or merged into a separate layer). Here are just some of the ways you can use layer styles to enhance your print images:
- Apply the Drop Shadow or Outer Glow style to transparent image layers, to a selection, to type or shape layers, or to a flattened composite.
- Create colorful text or image composites by applying layer styles to shape or type layers.
- Change the color of a transparent image layer or selection.
