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. {Somewhere in between those settings usually looks best, however} 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File List: [File name] cpd_Ameri_SparkStyles_MAIN.jpg cpd_American_Sparkle.asl Total number of files = 2 [File name] cpd_Americ_Sparkl_Styles_Readme.txt Renderosity_License.txt Total number of files = 2 Grand Total number of files = 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright notice: You CAN use these styles to create/style any NEW personal or commercial works.
