Or you can access this command from the Layers palette by right-clicking on the small layer effects symbol (looks like an f) on your layer, then choosing the Scale Effects command. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) When you choose Scale Effects, the dialog box "Scale Layer Effects" will appear. You can reduce the scale down as low as 1% to make the effects smaller, or increase the scale up to 1000% to make the effects larger. This re-scales every effect used in the Layer Style at once...OR you can just remove/add a shadow, add a stroke or inner bevel, change the pattern scale size, etc. *Checking the "Preview" box will allow you to see as you're adjusting.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) So the next time you download some layer styles and find they don't look quite the same on your own images as they did in the examples, try scaling the effects and see if it makes a difference. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folder name: april_diamonds_Birthst_bling [File names] April Diamond Wallpaper_birthstonebling.png april_birthstonebling_seamless_fa01.pat april_diam_gems_01.png april_diam_gems_02.png april_diam_gems_03.png april_diam_gems_04.png april_diam_gems_05.png april_diam_gems_06.png april_diam_gems_07.png april_diam_gems_08.png april_diam_gems_09.png april_diam_gems_10.png april_diam_gems_11.png april_diam_gems_12.png april_diam_gems_13.png april_diam_gems_14.png april_diam_gems_15.png april_diam_gems_16.png april_diam_gems_17.png april_diam_gems_18.png april_diam_seamlesstile01.png april_diam_seamlesstile02.png april_diam_seamlesstile03.png april_diam_seamlesstile04.png april_diam_seamlesstile05.png april_diam_seamlesstile06.png april_diam_seamlesstile07.png april_diam_seamlesstile08.png april_diam_seamlesstile09.png April_diamond frame_full.png april_diamonddivider_01.png april_diamonddivider_02.png ariesfancyheader.png birthstonebling_april_.png birthstonebling_april_diam_cpd.asl border_birthstone_april_02.png Border_birthstoneapril_diam.png Total number of files = 37 Folder name: Documentation [File names] april_diam_Readme.txt Renderosity_License.txt Total number of files = 2 Grand Total folders: 2 Grand Total files: 39 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
