its options.
You can create custom styles using one or more of the following effects:
Drop Shadow Adds a shadow that falls behind the contents on the layer.
Inner Shadow Adds a shadow that falls just inside the edges of the layer’s content, giving the layer a recessed
appearance.
Outer Glow and Inner Glow Add glows that emanate from the outside or inside edges of the layer’s content.
Bevel and Emboss Add various combinations of highlights and shadows to a layer.
Satin Applies interior shading that creates a satiny finish.
Color, Gradient, and Pattern Overlay Fills the layer’s content with a color, gradient, or pattern.
Stroke Outlines the object on the current layer using color, a gradient, or a pattern. It is particularly useful on hard-
edged shapes such as type.
Apply or edit a custom layer style
Note: You cannot apply layer styles to a background layer, a locked layer, or a group. To apply a layer style to a
background layer, first convert it into a regular layer.

• Double-click the layer, outside the layer name or thumbnail.
• Click the Layer Styles button at the bottom of the Layers palette and choose an effect from the list.
• Choose an effect from the Layer > Layer Style submenu.
• To edit an existing style, double-click an effect displayed below the layer name in the Layers palette. (Click the
triangle next to the “fx” icon to display the effects contained in the style.)

4 Add other effects to the style, if desired. In the Layer Style dialog box, click the check box to the left of the effect
name to add the effect without selecting it.
