Glass and Metal Photoshop layer styles

Just wanted to share some of my Photoshop layer styles with my fellow Apple users I've been working on these for a while now, building up a huge collection of textures (from my own photography) and turning them into styles. Hope you like them.
These are some of my metal styles for Photoshop, from a set called MetalWorks Professional. All in all, there are 140 different metal styles in the set, including gold, silver, aluminum, copper, and steel.
And these are a few of my glass Photoshop styles, from a set called GlassWorks Professional. This set includes 320 transparent styles, in red, green, blue, and clear glass. They're excellent for creating glass text effects, or decorative designs.
Thanks for checking out my work. Since you read to the bottom of this thread, here's a set of free fire layer styles just for you

These are great styles! Thanks very much for sharing. Not to hijack your thread or anything, but since this is relevant I actually spent a few weeks making an extremely flexible glass layer style construction kit of my own.
You can get some extremely high quality results using this toolkit: http://graphicriver.net/item/fm-essential-glass-styles-and-design-templates/132746

  • Photoshop Layer Styles do not come over to FCP

    I have a .psd file. It's a logo on one layer with a blank (alpha channel) as the background. I want to put a stroke on the logo. In photoshop, I use blending options to add my stroke.
    When I import the file into FCP, it does not have the stroke. I tried other effects (drop shadow, bevel, etc) and none of those come over to FCP either.
    So is it known that photoshop does not recognize the photoshop layer styles? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for the help.

    Layer - Rasterize is grayed out...
    Wonder what I'm doing wrong...
    Even if I can somehow do this, why can't FCP just understand these layer styles... It works so well with photoshop, but there's this one issue. And if I rasterize it, I'm not going to be able to make it bigger later. Kind of defeats the purpose of wanting to go back and edit it later on..
    Strangeness...

  • Gap between glass and metal band.

    I have a really thin gaps between the glass and metal band in the upper front and back right corner, and was wondering if anyone else has noticed small gaps between the glass and metal band anywhere on their phone. ive had nothing but crappy customer service at both apple stores near me, but was eventually told by the "genius" that i could come back with another appointment before the 30 days and swap for a new retail phone in the box.
    The only thing that worries me is getting a whole new phone with more different problems then the one i have with only the gap issue. The "genius" also told me that im the first one that has had this issue, yet ive seen threads about a month or so ago with people saying they had the same issue. so as an update, has anyone noticed this now?

    ya, but this isnt the first time ive had bad customer service with apple. Granted it was a different apple store, but about 3 days after i bought the phone i made an appointment, and took it in for the same separation issue. This time the guy seemed almost clueless as he had to ask his co workers questions i was asking him. Thankfully a manager overheard the situation and informed him that it was an issue that needed to be taken care of. So the guy goes to the back, comes out with a phone from the black box (At the time i had no clue of how the black boxes worked), and i ask if it was a new or refurbished phone, and he assured me it was a new one.
    So after inspecting the phone i noticed another gap in the glass and told the worker and he replies with "its not that bad, i dont think yours was that bad either". after seeing the same issue and getting his response, i decided to just keep mine and make a different appointment at another store (Today). Oh, might I add that after we leave the store, my girlfriend tells me that as i picked up the phone to inspect it, the guy rolls his eyes. Just experiences like these leave a biter taste in my mouth. its sad that a couple experiences from non corporate workers would make me start to dislike a company.

  • Photoshop Layer Styles and Encore Help

    I've made a background in PS CS3 with buttons, the buttons have an outer glow layer style applied to them, when I import the (background & buttons) as a menu into Encore CS3 the buttons show up with a stoke effect and not the glow effect that was applied in PS CS3.
    This is my first Encore project so is there something I'm doing wrong!!
    Thanks
    Scott

    My guess is that you have applied the "glow" to the highlight (subpicture) layer of the button. A subpicture can consist of max 3 pure colors which isn't nearly enough to render a glow effect in.
    The only way to simulate the glow effect as button highlight is by using this workaround technique:
    How do I create a Button Rollover effect?
    (This is not a recommendation. I would rather suggest to rework your menu design so that it doesn't need workarounds.)

  • Photoshop layer style in Flash?

    I know about the import> stage etc. but using that just
    brings in it as picture and normal text which won't have the layer
    style. I don't want to delete the text I already have there because
    it has an effect on it which I don't really remember how to get
    again lol
    I'm also not sure which layer the effect is... Why can't they
    just add a copy and paste layer style between programs...

    Thanks for your reply!! I'm glad somebody finally answered my lsst post.
    After a few days of waiting for a reply, I gave up tried on my own.
    Again I unintalled, turned off my antivirus (Avast)and reinstalled. Again no change. After doing this three times, on my fourth try I thought, what the heck, what harm can I do disabling my firewall also. Bingo!!!. I guess I always thought my Antivirus Program and Firewall were two different securities. That should be pointed out when told to disable your antivirus. Don't you think? I'm not a newbie by any means. It just goes to show you, you learn something new everyday.
    Anyway I'm glad the problem is solved.

  • Filter Effect and Layer Style in the same layer vs separate layers

    I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object.  I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged).  I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer.   The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal.  Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
    I don't understand why the visual result is different.  I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something.  This is a trial of CS6 that I'm using.
    Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
    looks very different from....
    Layer 2:  a layer style
    Layer 1:  a filter effect

    If you want two separate layers, then on the duplicate layer with the Color Overlay layer style you might try different layer blending modes.
    For example, below looks the same having the Color Overlay with linear burn on the second layer and changing the layers blend mode to Hue.
    You could also put the layer in a group and apply the layer style to the group.

  • Layer Style Stroke Pixel Bug?

    I am finding at random times that when I draw a rectangle with rectangle tool and then use layer style to apply a 1 pixel border, the border sometimes have a fade on either side of the that 1 pixel and it becomes 2 pixel.  It doesn't appear on all four sides, just randomly left,right,top, bottom...
    To better illustrate the problem, i have attached an image and it's zoomed in to show the problem...You see how left and bottom is 1 pixel but not top and right side?  This is strange and never happened in CS4...I am using CS5 by the way...Anyone experienced this?

    Pixels are the building blocks of raster images but you can put vectors anywhere, even at half pixel increments. So what happens when you tell Photoshop to make a 1 pixel stroke in such a way that it shows 25% in one pixel and 75% in the one next to it? You cannot fill half pixels so it has to either resize your vector so that it snaps to the pixel grid or, and this is what Photoshop does, add anti-aliassing which makes the 25% selected pixel 25% gray and the 75% selected pixel 75% gray (if the stroke was black).

  • What is going on with Layer styles??

    For the last few weeks I have been having problems with my photoshop. One day I opened it and all the layer styles (6 gigs worth) were just gone. No one knew how to restore them here so I did them all over again and saved 3 sets at 2gigs each. Now every single time I open Photoshop I don't have any layer styles and have to load them. I updated just now from CS5 to CS6 and the same thing.. I have opened and closed CS6 4x now and each time all my layer styles vanish upon opening.
    What is going on and how do I fix it?
    BP

    Same old answer: If stuff doesn't stick, you have resource (disk space) or permission problems. The files probably don't auto-load, because they are never copied to the user folders and/or the prefs responsible for them never get written. Anyway, 6GB of presets? That's ridiculously insane and probably one of the reasons they got corrupted in the first place.

  • Separate layer styles panel

    Hey all.
    I was wondering if anyone knoew of an extension/plugin for Photoshop which essentially mimics the "Attributes" panel in Illustrator, but showing all the layer styles applied (or not applied) to a selected layer.
    Currently, we need to select the layer and 'open' the layer styles options to see/edit them. Having to open/close these for each layer can get tedious, so I was thinking a separate panel which simply showed the same info as the open/close options would be handy to have open at all times.
    I'm 99.9% sure PShop can't do this on it's own, and wanted to know if anyone knew of an extension/plugin that does this. I haven't been able to find one anywhere online.
    Thanks for any info!

    Hello everyone ...
    So, the Reset button in the Layer Styles panel never reset the default settings. But after trying several times I was able to manually enter the settings I thought I recalled being the default settings and then clicked on the Make Default button which finally worked.

  • How can I merge layers with multiple layer styles added to them?

    So I have this issue where I have to merge lots of layers in order to finish the job. Thing is that two of them have layer styles added to them. Each one has two different layers styles added to it. If I try to merge the layers, the effect won't stay the same and only one layer style will apply (and not even this one works correctly). Is there any cure for this? Thank you!

    Here is how it looks before I merge the layers.
    And here is how it looks after I merge the layers.
    Why won't it stay the same?

  • Layer styles gone rogue?

    (P-shop CS5, Mac OS 10.6.8)
    I have a doc with several layers. I have layer style "Bevel & Emboss" applied to an element on one layer. But, when I apply layer style "Inner Shadow" to an element on another layer, it messes with the layer style settings on my first layer! This  happens when I change the "angle" setting. The layers are not linked, and the first layer style was not "option-dragged" to the second layer. It was a brand new layer style.  Anyone have any ideas what's going on? My best guess is that Pshop may have an automatic "dummy proof" function to assure that the shadows are all casting in the right direction in your composition.
    Thank you-

    You forgot to uncheck the "use global angle" option.
    Normally the angles are linked within the document to keep all the shadows/highlights consistent.

  • Layer style is MIA...

    I have PS elements 8 and now when I go to the effects panel, and click on layer style, it comes up empty.  Where did the shadows, bevels, etc. go?  I am lost without them!

    What operating system?

  • I'm trying to install a layer style (.asl) in photoshop cc 2014 and I get the error message 'Could not place the document 'filename.asl' because no parser or file format can open the file.' Any suggestions?

    I get the same error when trying the same thing with the default styles, so it's not the file.

    So, if you click on one on of the layer style sets already on the list, such as Text Effects 2, you get the same message?
    Which version of mac os x are you using?
    Did you upgrade your mac os with photoshop cc 2014 already installed?
    Do you have the lastest version of photoshop cc 2014, which should be 2014.2.1
    (listed at the top of Help>System Info from within photoshop)
    Do you see the same layer styles as shown above on your list?
    Have you moved/copied any plugins from an earlier version of photoshop to the photoshop cc 2014 plugins folder?
    The layer styles shown on the list above are the styles that ship with cc 2014 and should be in
    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Presets/Styles
    (the mac applications folder where all the other mac applications are installed)
    You might try resetting the preferences, but you might need to uninstall photoshop cc 2014 and then reinstall.
    (don't drag the cc 2014 to the trash, but use the Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 in the photoshop cc 2014 application folder)
    To reset the preferences
    Press and hold down the Shift+Command+Option keys while starting photoshop cc 2014
    Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
    Press Yes

  • Ps CS6 problem: Missing abilities of Layer Style presets and Groups

    Ps CS6 v13.0.1
    OS X 10.6.8
    Layer Style presets seem not to function with Groups.
    Unable to apply LS preset to Group.
    (Able to apply LS preset to art layer.)
    Unable to create LS preset from LS of Group.
    (Able to create LS preset from LS of art layer.)
    (Able to copy/paste LS from/to Group and art layer.
    Able to drag Effects from/to Group and art layer.)

    I tried to confirm what you've written and couldn't, using Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64.
    I grouped a couple of text layers
    I double-clicked the group to bring up the Layer Style dialog.
    I clicked in the Styles box at the upper-left.
    I chose my Gold Metal preset and was surprised to see it work.
    I added a shape to the layer group and tried a different preset, and that worked too...
    Perhaps you're going to have to be a bit more specific about what you're doing.  As with most things nowadays, Photoshop doesn't seem to be broken in a simple way.

  • Where is layer style in Photoshop Elements 6?

    In a photoshop tutorial there is instructions to open circle shape layer and add layer style Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, and Bevel and Emboss from the layers panel.  After searching through the layers menu and layer's panel I can not find these options.  Does anyone know where they are located.

    Layer Styles are located in the effects palette.
