jdrux Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi I'm just looking to make my process more efficient. I have to create numerous images all the same size and with the same layer effects (outer shadow with the exact same settings for all). Is there a way to set the default layer effects to a custom setting so that when you create a new layer it automatically adds, say, a specific outer shadow setting to the new layer, without having to go into each new layer and create the same layer settings. In photoshop with is done by copy/pasting the layer style. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to do this with adjustments as well? so all layers can have the same adjustments and FX? I'm not sure how to use/ access macros.
