PS3 to Fireworks: Copy Layer Style

Here's the setup for my question:
In Photoshop I can create a shape, apply effects through
Layer Style and copy those effects onto other objects. To achieve
this I go to:
Layer > Layer Style > Copy Layer Style.
I then select the different object I want to apply that same
style and do this:
Layer > Layer Style > Paste Layer Style.
My question then, is: what is the Fireworks equivalent to
this?
In Fireworks I have an object with a gradient blend applied
to it. I want to copy that same blend onto another object but thus
far have not been able to find the command.

In Fireworks you use Copy and Paste Attributes.
Copy anything the normal way you copy something (there's no
special Copy Attributes, just use the all purpose Copy command,
Ctrl/Cmd+V.)
Edit > Paste Attributes
Paste Attributes will paste all sorts of stuff from the
objects in your clipboard: filters (like layers styles in PS),
vector fills (including fill handle positions), vector strokes,
object opacity, blend mode, and text attributes when
applicable.

Copy layer style in illustrator

Hi all,
I'd like to know how I can copy a layer style (effect, gradient.,,) of an object to another like in photoshop.
I tried eyedropper, but it only picks gradient not the effect.
thanx

Set up the Layer with the effects you want and then highlight the Layer line in the Appearance panel. With the Layer highlighted, from the Graphic Styles panel flyout select New Graphic Style. Give it a name. You should get a new style that looks like this. This will apply the layer style to a new layer.
You will have to have a fill and stroke on the items on that layer for it to show.

PE 4.0 can you save custom layer styles?

How do you create your own layer styles and make them available in the layer styles palette? Is there a way to do it with Elements?
For example, if you have your bevels, your shadows, your inner & outer glows, all set up just the way you want them, and you'd like to re-use them in the future in other compositions, then it would be useful to be able to save your layer style.

Hi there Patrick,
Using Photoshop it is possible to create and save your own layer styles but this isn't possible in Elements ... what you could do is save the layer in a file of its own then drag and drop it into your new image and do
Layer>Layer Style>Copy Layer Style
Layer>Layer Style>Paste Layer Style
Then discard the old layer ..
Long way round but it sort of works ... well providing the sizes, resolutions etc are similar...

Copy/Paste Layer Style Bug

Really, you guys didn't fix the copy/paste layer style bug in 13.0.2. Wow, easily reproduced, there is an adobe recommended workaround, meaning very aware of the problem, and couldn't fix it for this update, very sad Adobe, very sad. Can you let us know when this will be fixed?

The 13.0.2 update was targeted to fix one specific bug. It was not intended to be a general bug-fix update.
We are testing a fix now for the layer styles bug and others, and we intend to include these fixes in the next general update, which is currently slated for release in less than two months.

I'm trying to copy a text layer style, but it's grayed out

All text layers in my file is the same problem. The copy text layer is not available. But I can paste a layer style. I tried on another PSD and same thing. I reset my preferances folder and still no luck. This has happened to me once before, and I can't for the life of me remember what I needed to do to fix it. Anyone know the problem?
Thanks

Solved it myself and am posting the 'solution' for others that are not frequent users of PS..
I was trying to copy the font and color of my text to a bunch of other text layers. Come to find out that it's not possible (as far as I know) without doing the formatting using blending options. Instead, I used the regular text formatting tools. All's good now.

Could we copy and paste class styles in Reflow like layer styles in Photoshop?

I don't know if it's in there or not, but it wasn't mentioned in the tutorials, but I think this would be really useful, if possible. We are trying to use Reflow as a means of designing our assets once in a psd and then creating the responsive layouts to our development team. This way we won't have to spell out font sizes, colors, etc. or take time saving each individual graphic asset. Everyone will be happy!

Hi -
You can "copy visual styles" and "paste visual styles" between elements in Reflow, which makes it easy to make multiple elements use the same CSS. However, there isn't currently a way to actually share the same CSS rule between elements so that you can change it in one place and have the new CSS apply in all instances.
I hope that helps!

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

Photoshop CS2 Layer Styles / Blending Options stopped working

I'm running Photoshop CS2 on PC. When right clicking on layers to bring up the Layer Styles / Blending Options palette, I can get the palette okay but the selections won't work when I check the boxes.
I try to select different options....drop shadow, inner shadow, etc. but nothing shows up. It's not a preview problem because the changes are not visible in my image even after I select OK.
I've reset my preferences (alt+ctl+shift) but it didn't help.
Can anyone suggest to me what I can do to wake up this palette?? I've got work pending and my online searches have left me empty handed.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Lisa

Thank you both for your responses.
John: The file is PSD, RGB mode, 300dpi. Last night, I tried the layer styles in another file and it wouldn't' work.... another NEW file. Today, I opened an existing file that had layers styles already in effect and I can see them, I can click them on/off AND I can put layer styles onto other layers in the existing files that did not have them previously. I just tried creating a new file and, of course, the layer styles now work in the NEW file.... this is something I tried last night and it didn't work at that time.
Ed: Yes, I'm on the right layer. I've tried it on several layers, none of which are transparent. Thanks for the heads up.
So, this tells me it's something to do with this particular image file. I must've accidentally hit something that's put it into a strange mode. Last night, out of frustration, I just gave up, shut it all down, and turned the computer off. This morning, I went in and created a new image document and then one by one I copied and pasted the layers of my malfunctioning image into the new one. Now I can get the layers to work.
I have no idea what was wrong, but it seems I should just trash the problematic file and start fresh. At least the individual layers were not compressed and it's still salvagable.
Thank you both for your time and consideration!

Layer Styles Not Saving for Use on Other Computers

I've been trying over and over for the last 6 hours to get the layer styles I save in my custom pallet to work on other computers. I mean, I have a bunch of pallets from other sources and somehow they achieved a way of being able to save theirs, now why can't I do it on mine?
So, here's the story of what I've done. I have a Text layer, I've added a list of FX to it via the Layer Styles menu. Now I save the document. I open up a new document and copy/paste the FX onto a new Text layer in another document window. It works great.
Then, I save the layer styles for use later, but no. When I do everything exactly the same way, my Layer Style that I saved has lost all it coordinates of shadows and stroke widths, bevels, you name it, it's screwed up. Now I've tried this so far on CS4 and CS5, 3 different computers. All 3 computers have different settings for how Photoshop is set up, so I know it's NOT my settings alone. Though, it keeps the colors and custom gradients how they are, everything is bonkers.
I'm ready to stop trusting in Photoshop to be there for me when I need it...or punch a hole in the wall. Whichever comes first.
I need help for this as soon as possible, for I have an assignment I need this for.
Running: Windows 7 64

Seems to me you left out the most critical piece of information, that is, HOW did you save the layer style for later use ?
You might read this tutorial to see if you did it correctly.

Export Flexibility of Custom Shapes & Layer Styles?

Over the past few years I've developed a workflow for icon creation that involves purely custom shapes and layer styles. This has been fantastic from a number of points of view
- Vector based workflow for easy scaling, resizing
- Easy maintenance of style coherence with layer style presets
- Custom shape library means rapid prototyping of common elements
While this approach in Photoshop helps me rapidly develop icons, it's now presenting some challenges from an export point of view. Specifically the path to vector based formats like svg and xaml is hindered by the fact that Photoshop and Fireworks/Illustrator don't share a common layer styles approach. (Fireworks having a XAML export plugin and Illustrator having both XAML plugin and SVG export capability)
While the above programs are more geared towards vector work, they don't offer the flexibility of Photoshop when it comes to creating photorealistic icons with texturing.
Is anyone aware of a method for exporting a vector element from photoshop while maintaing the editability of layer styles? (Exporting simple shapes in PDF works but falls down once masks and layer styles come into the equation)
Fireworks CS4 seems to import select PSD's decently but there is not a 1:1 relationship between the layer effects from Photoshop. Illustrator seems to assume that anything coming out of Photoshop will be bitmap based and acts accordingly.
Any feedback or similar experiences would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
From last week am I trying to do what I mentioned in post above, I just find it very difficult to do. Now I beginning to doubt whether it is possible or not, provided the SDK we have for CS4.
What do you think, is it a doable item and I am missing some simple thing ??
Please let me know of your views its really very important.
Thanks,

PSE 6 layer styles - how can I load new styles?

PSE 6 layer styles - how can I load new styles?

Hi,
You need to download styles and then paste them to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles.
You need to have a
1) .asl file
2) metadata.xml file.
Relaunch the application after this. the styles would be visible.
In case you dont see them just go to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Locale\en_us and delete "MediaDatabase.db3" file.
For XP:
Copy the styles to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles
and delete the "MediaDatabase.db3" file. at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Locale\en_US.
For MAC :
/Volumes/OS<name of Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/8.0/Photo Creations/Layer styles.
and delete the "MediaDatabase.db3" file. at /Volumes/OS<name of Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/8.0/Locale/en_US
Hope this helps.

Copy / Paste Styles between objects?

Can you copy/paste styles between different objects in Motion 5?
I know I can save a Style as a name and then select it from the style list. It would be great to just copy a style and then select another object and paste. Can you do this?
Thanks!
Scot

Motion lets you drag and drop parameters on different things. If the action is "not allowed" you won't be able to do it. That said, if you have a rectangle located somewhere on the screen and you want to line up text over the rectangle, just drag the Position parameter of the rectangle onto the text layer in the layers list.
For "like" objects, for instance: shapes, you can drag the Outline and Fill panels (the entire panel!) onto another shape and all of the contained parameters will be copied over. So, if you have a red outlined (say 10 px wide), blue filled rectangle, and you want the same properties on a circle, just drag those panes (click on "Fill" And "Outline") onto the circle.
If all you want to do is save styles of shapes, or text, that you've created, then for shapes, on the Style inspector theres a Shape Style dropdown at the top of the parameters list. Click that and Save Shape Style. Whatever your current settings are, they can be saved and reselected from that menu. For text, at the top of the Style inspector, you'll generally see Normal (in whatever that layers font is.) Click on that bar and select Save All Basic + Style Attributes.

Save Layer Style w/ 100% Fill

We have layer styles for blind emboss, 0% fill. If you click on that one by accident then try to apply the correct layer style with 100% fill, everthing applies accept the fill. I even saved the style and checked the Save blending options box, but it will not save 100% fill,. Or am I missing something? We teach classes, and this always creates a mess.
Thank you

Trying to copy the layer into a new document results in graphics pasted in the correct way, but without the blending option.
If you drag the layer into a new document, (as opposed to copy/paste), all its properties will go with it.
Or, just choose Image > Duplicate, Alt-Click the logo layer's eye icon in the Layers Panel, (to hide all other layers), crop as desired, and Save For Web.

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.

Can I copy Brushes, Styles, etc., from Elements to PS CS6?

Hi again, everyone,
I was able to install CS6 without any problems. (link to previous thread) http://forums.adobe.com/message/4692121#4692121
The program's Associations did take over my photos, but I was able to change that, except that now the icons are different from what I'm used to. So I have some new questions for you guys and gals....
1- Can I change the icons to what they used to be before the installation? They take a long time to change to allow me to see my pic's icons.
2- If so, can you tell me how?
I have tons and tons of really cool Brushes and Styles in my Elements 7 - I'd really like to be able to copy them over to CS6.
3- Can the Brushes and Styles be copied over to Photoshop?
4- If so, can you please show me how I can do that?
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate your kind assistance.
Have a great weekend!

You can go to the brushes or layer styles flyout menus and use replace brushes or styles.
or copy the layer styles and brush presets to:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
and then they should show in the relevent menus.

Hi R. Kelly,
Thanks for the detailed info, I love it when people show me how to do things and how they would look afterwards. I think that's how I learn the best.
Thanks for the links, I read through some of the info, but couldn't find what I was looking for...
I know there's a path that you have to follow to install Brushes in PS. Since I just got my CS6 a few days ago, I just have no idea what that path looks like - is it the 1st one you showed above? I guess that "Roaming" text sort of threw me off. And that "Replace brushes" thingy scares me since I do not really want to replace any Brushes, I just want to upload some.
Anyway, I've been checking some things out on YouTube and most people say to drag and drop into CS6 and then the Brush just shows up. I just prefer to have the correct info so that I just learn it once, from the right source.
Thanks again! Have a great weekend.
