Layer Effects - Can this have a custom default setting?


Recommended Posts

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!

You also have Edit > Paste FX in APhoto

or you could try a macro

OK Interesting, How to do you "copy the FX" to then "paste" it? 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.

Just select the layer with the FX then Edit > Copy

Select the adjustment in the Layers panel you want to copy (just the adjustment not the layer) then Edit > Copy

Select the layer you want to copy the adjustment to then try Edit > Paste Inside
