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] birthst_bling_opal [File List] birthst_bling_opal_01.png birthst_bling_opal_02.png birthst_bling_opal_03.png birthst_bling_opal_04.png birthst_bling_opal_05.png birthst_bling_opal_06.png birthst_bling_opal_07.png birthst_bling_opal_08.png birthst_bling_opal_09.png birthst_bling_opal_10.png birthst_bling_opal_11.png birthst_bling_opal_12.png birthst_bling_opals_cpd.pat birthst_bling_opals_cpd_.asl birthstbling_Libra_HEADER.png birthstbling_opal_border_01.png birthstbling_opal_border_02.png birthstbling_opal_divider_bar_01.png birthstbling_opal_divider_bar_02.png birthstbling_opal_gem_01.png birthstbling_opal_gem_02.png birthstbling_opal_gem_03.png birthstbling_opal_gem_04.png birthstbling_opal_gem_05.png birthstbling_opal_gem_06.png birthstbling_opal_gem_07.png birthstbling_opal_gem_08.png birthstbling_opal_gem_09.png birthstbling_opal_gem_10.png birthstbling_opal_gem_11.png birthstbling_opal_gem_12.png birthstbling_opal_gem_13.png birthstbling_opal_gem_14.png birthstbling_opal_gem_15.png birthstbling_opal_gem_16.png birthstbling_opal_gem_17.png birthstbling_opal_gem_18.png birthstbling_opal_HeartCharm.png birthstbling_opal_Pic_FRAME.png birthstbling_opal_WALLPAPER.png birthstbling_opal_WORD_ART.png Total number of folders: 1 Total number of files = 41 [Folder name] Documentation [File name] birthst_bling_opal_Readme.txt Renderosity_License.txt Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright notice: You CAN use the styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
