(located in the upper right hand corner below the "open/close") of the styles box 5. Select "Load Styles" from the Drop Down Box 6.

Use pattern to fill or stroke an image, etc.** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage Tips/Special Instructions Quickie Re-Scaling Instructions: "How To Re-Scale/Adjust Layer Styles for Any Size Image in Photoshop" 1) To scale your layer effects go to (menu) Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects. 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] birthstb_SAPPHIRE [File names] birthstbling_sapph_pic_frame.png birthstbling_sapphire_border_01.png birthstbling_sapphire_border_02.png birthstbling_sapphire_cpd.pat birthstbling_sapphire_cpd_styles.asl birthstbling_sapphire_divider_01.png birthstbling_sapphire_divider_02.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_01.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_02.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_03.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_04.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_05.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_06.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_07.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_08.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_09.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_10.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_11.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_12.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_13.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_14.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_15.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_16.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_17.png birthstbling_sapphire_gem_18.png birthstbling_sapphire_heartcharm.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_01.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_02.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_03.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_04.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_05.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_06.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_07.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_08.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_09.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_10.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_11.png birthstbling_sapphire_tile_12.png birthstbling_sapphire_VIRGO_header.png birthstbling_sapphire_wallpaper.png birthstbling_sapphire_wordart.png Total number of folders = 1 Total number of files = 41 ------------------- [Folder name] Documentation [File names] birthst_bling_sapphire_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.
