The Styles palette in Photoshop allows you to save your favorite layer style combinations for later use. The palette also gives you access to the dozens of style presets that come with Photoshop. To display the palette, choose Window --> Styles. The Styles palette displays the default set of styles as thumbnail samples. With tool tips enabled in Photoshop’s preferences, hovering the mouse over each thumbnail in the palette reveals the style name. To view more thumbnails at a time, you can resize the palette by clicking and dragging the bottom-right corner.
To change the way the styles are displayed, click the palette menu button to reveal the flyout window. Here you can choose to display the style presets in small or large thumbnails, in small or large list view, or as text only. The Styles palette flyout menu lets you select which of Photoshop’s available style presets to display. Photoshop gives you the option to replace the current set with a new one or to append the set, adding new presets to the ones already displayed in the palette. Each new set you select is displayed in the palette until you replace it or append it with another selection.
You can delete a selected style by Control+clicking (Mac) or right-clicking with a two-button mouse and choosing Delete Style from the pop-up menu. After clicking OK in the warning dialog box that appears, Photoshop removes the style from the set immediately. Fortunately, you can restore deleted styles to the set by choosing Reset Styles from the Styles palette flyout menu. When resetting, a warning dialog box appears asking whether you’d like to display the default style set, or add it to the currently displayed list of styles by clicking Append. To commit to the change, click OK. Photoshop then asks whether you’d like to save the changes you’ve made to the current set before resetting.
To save changes made to a set, choose Save Styles from the Styles palette flyout menu or from the warning dialog box described earlier when resetting. Photoshop then displays the Save dialog box, where you can name the new set. The default file location on your system for custom style presets is in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets/Styles (Mac) or Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop CS3/Styles/Brushes folder (Win). If you choose not to save and proceed to apply the Reset Styles command, all changes you’ve made to the style presets will be lost.
