Where are Layer Styles

I am working on a project in AE7. I want to apply Layer Styles to a layer, but when I go to Layers on the top manu, the layer styles option is not there.
any ideas?
thanks

Yes. You are using AE7. Editable PS layer styles were only introduced in CS3.

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.

Where are my styles applied?

Hi there,
Is it possible to write a script that will identify where a specific style is used throughout a document?
I've inherited a large project with about 1500 pages and I'd like to clean up the styles used throughout. By the looks of it, there are duplicate styles used in many of the individual files that make my book. I'd like to find those and consolidate the many styles stored in each file to just unique and used styles.
The "list unused styles" feature is a great help with this but I'd like to go to the next level with this effort.
Thanks,
Pete H.

Hello Pete,
here you can find a script from Marc Autret ... and a similar approach from me.

Where are custom styles saved on my computer?

Hi,
I need to create a cd with all the customizations I have made to a template (object, table, cell, paragraph, and character styles). I can't seem to find them, however.
In CS4 I found them here:
Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe InDesign CS5 > Presets > Styles,
but not in CS5.
Perhaps it's a permission or hidden file issue...?
Thanks!

Yes - I am preparing a toolkit for other users of ID who have no experience - several users in different locations. I'd like to be able to hand them a cd with everything on it that they need.
This was very simple in CS4...

Where are the blending options?

Hello,
I moved from CS2 on windows to elements 6 on mac, and I can't find the blending options. Like, on CS2(and on CS and CS3) when you double click a layer, it'll bring up a window where you can add things to that layer, like a drop shadow, Bezel, gradiants, strokes and so on. It was an extremely useful feature. How can I get that on elements? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Thanks

Those are Layer Styles. I suggest you ask on the Elements Forums.

Not sure why anyone would go from Photoshop to Elements.

Where is the layer style folder located in windows 7 for elements 6?

I have been through the steps listed and searched the adobe folder and have not found the layer styles folder. Does anyone know where it is located?

Hello,
Thanks for responding
The layer styles are in the right location. When the Layer>Layer Style> is
open the only selection available is Hide All Effects. There is a
tutorial(coffee cup
creation)<http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/drawing/how-to-draw-a-photorealistic-coff ee-cup.html>where
I get stuck on the first few steps because of the missing layer
options.
Once again, thank you.

How can I see where Paragraph / Character Styles are used?

I am editing a 40-page document and have many Paragraph styles. I have already deleted unused paragraph styles and now would like to see where are the remaining styles used to edit the text directly. IS there a way to see it? (InDesign CS4 or CS5)
Thanks,
Marina

Save two copies of the file.
Close the original file. In a saved copy, [EDIT] use the paragraph style panel to [/EDIT] change the text color of every paragraph style to a new color whose swatch you name for the paragraph style. For example, Head1 paragraph style's text color becomes your newly-made swatch Head1color.
Every paragraph in the document will appear in the color you assigned. This should give you a picture of which paragraphs are which style.
Save the colored version of the file if you want to keep it.

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

Latest Photoshop CC2014 update broke layer styles / properties window

When I create a layer style (ie. LEVELS) and then double click that layer style to open the properties panel so I can then edit... the properties panel does not open. Some other window do not open upon clicking them. Seems like an overall glitch in some of the windows.
Also sometimes within a smart object it won't let me save that object if there is more than 1 layer.

Funny replying to myself repeatedly. It seems I have found the problem with no solution in sight. My findings are as follows:
I am running two external monitors on my laptop (HDMI and VGA), the laptop screen is off. If I unplug one screen, Photoshop is fine with me. No crashes.
In nVidia settings you can choose what GPU is being used for specific programs. Changing it to the internal one, Photoshop is fine with me. No crashes. Crappy performance.
I came to the idea of it having to do with dual monitors in my long way through help forums, and one thread here (on problems with 4 monitors) suggested to disable the ScriptingSupport.8li via re-naming which didn't work for me nonetheless. Now it seems up to me whether I'd love to farewell either my powerful GPU or my second monitor for working with Photoshop.
Still, does anybody have a notion of what else I could possibly do? I won't assume Fujitsu to offer a fix for this, since it is hard to track down precisely where the problem comes from.
All the best
enoversum
Edit: BTW, Windows settings confirm both screens are handled by/connected to the internal GPU, no matter what Photoshop is using ultimately. That seems like normal behaviour, and I cannot switch since the two ports are on the internal card.

New stroke options for the layer style "Stroke"

Hi,
The new stroke options are fantastic where you can edit gaps, align and corners. And I love the ability to add layer styles to groups which makes it much easier to work with separate parts in a group that should be treated as a common object.
BUT! Why haven't you updated the stroke (layer style) options to include these new awesome stroke features? I would love to be able to make dashed strokes as a layer style that can be applied to groups, and I don't see why this should be excluded as an option.
Thanks for an otherwise great application!
On twitter: @uxhannes

We are happy that you like the new features in CS6. You can request new features from your ideas here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family and people can vote on them.
Note: A shape layer stroke is a vector-based stroke and is applied only to shape layers. This is very different from the layer syle stroke.
You can control the settings for this stroke in the options bar for the vector tools (Shape, Pen, Path Selection, Direct Selection). This stroke is an attribute of the shape layer and will not cause the fx icon to display on the layer in the Layers panel.
A layer style stroke is a pixel-based stroke and can be applied to any layer that accepts layer styles (including shape layers). The settings for this stroke are controlled via the Layer Styles dialog.

Photoshop CS5 x64 crashing while editing layer styles

Hey there,
I searched and seeked through the whole interweb, but hardly anyone seems to have ever had such a problem, so I am guessing this is the right place to ask and hopefully be helped . Short version is: Photoshop CS5 (x64) is constantly crashing when editing a layer style.
I recently installed my CS5 Design Premium on a new laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook AH351) and am having severe problems with Photoshop CS5. On first run everything was fine, and it kept that way for a while. Now everytime I try to edit a layer style Photoshop crashes immediately. I do not need to alter anything, just open the layer style, press OK and Photoshop is gone. I can workaround by resetting preferences which works until next reboot, no matter if I change ANYTHING on the settings or not. Had tried this on the initial PS release and on the latest update (12.0.4). Once I reset settings again, I can work on layer styles again. Did anyone of you have a similar problem or a hint at what I might look?
The Lifebook has a decent feature which I suspect to somehow be the culprit of this case: it has an onboard graphics unit and a separate GPU (nVidia GForce GT 525M) which can be added in on a program-to-program basis. Photoshop indeed recognizes it and lets me activate OpenGL features as well, so from that point it seems fine. The internal GPU cannot be disabled since you connect your monitors to it.
Some data about my system:
Fujitsu Lifebook AH531
Intel® Core™ i5-2410M
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
750 GB SATA HDD 5400 U/Min
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (up to date)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M with 1GB VRAM
Photoshop CS5 x64
no plugins in use/installed
no settings changed, not even shortcuts
Thanks in advance

BUG: Saving Text with Layer Styles to PDF

I was just able to take the CS6 beta for another test run, and it seems the following ancient, but high-priority bug (at least for me) hasn't been addressed:
When saving large Photoshop documents (composites in resolutions like, say 7000x10000 pixels) to Photoshop PDF, certain layer styles are often not exported correctly when applied to text layers. The layer styles that are affected are those that render pixels that are then clipped inside the text, such as Gradient Overlay, Bevel & Emboss etc.
When output, they usually don't span the entire text in the PDF, but are cut off with a straight line at some point (I can't supply an example image right now, my apologies). Inside of Photoshop, they render correctly at all zoom levels. My guess is that this is somehow related to the raster data being written as individual tiles and for some reason, some of these are then omitted for layer styles.
The problem isn't new to the CS6 Beta, but has existed for many versions. I have run into it in both Mac and Windows versions. The current workaround is to always expand layer styles on the text layers that are affected into layers before exporting, which is tedious and error-prone since there is inevitably something that gets missed (EDIT: I was wrong there, that workaraound doesn't work, the problem persists even if the layer style is expanded into a layer that is then applied as a clipping group).

Two possibilities: Pre-compose everything and fade the comp or use a second layer that has the layer styles, but in its Blending Options for the layer styles has set Fill opacity to zero, so only the styles are rendered, but not the source. Whjat you are seeing is normal behavior based on how styles are supposed to work. Whenever there is a non-zero (non-transparent) pixel, the get applied, where the pixels opacity acts as amultiplier for the style's intensity. Looks good for some, but often causes this popping appearance...

Scripting a layer style for each layer to make a depth pass from focus stacking information.

I'm trying to generate a depth pass from rack focus. Basically where I've gotten to right now is importing the rack focus footage each frame from as an individual layer. Then running Auto Blend Layers and letting photoshop do it's magic to mask out each layer's out of focus information. This basically gives me a bunch of layers that tell me exactly where the camera's focus was at each frame in the shot. What I need to do now is Add a color overlay (maybe in the form of a layer style) that starts at 100% black and goes to 100% white stepping through each layer.
Right now I have this, which is so very far away.
try {
    var docName = app.activeDocument.name; // save the app.activeDocument name before duplicate.
    var layerCount = app.documents[docName].layers.length; //figure out how many layers
    var colorStep = 255/layerCount; //figure out how big the step of grey is between each layer.
        for (i = 1; i <= layerCount; i++){
            my_layer = [docName].layer(i);
            my_layer.applyStyle (solidFill) //add the color overly layer style
            //color the overlay using the colorStep information and layer number
What I want is an end result that looks like this.

The only focus stacking I have done is with macro photography. Below is a script that adds the layer effects but the results with my macro samples did not turn out looking good. Maybe you will have better luck with the type of photography you are doing.

Layer styles

Hello,
I can't find the Layer Styles-thing. I need it to make something from a tut, but I can't continue because I dunno where it is.
Answer as soon as possible please.

In recent versions of PSE the styles are in the effects palette; the second button from the left, where the cursor is here:
