​​​Lesson 14 - Objectives 1-2 (Monday) 

B14-01 What are layer effects?
Objective:
  • ​Learn where you can add layer effects in Photoshop.
Picture
Learn:
​At the bottom of the layers palette there is an Fx symbol - which will lead you to the layer effects pop up menu (see image at right).  From there, you can add effects to a layer such as bevel & emboss, stroke, inner shadow, inner glow, satin, color overlay, gradient overlay, pattern overlay, outer glow, and drop shadow.  You also have a powerful blending options dialog that we'll be covering later in this lesson.  Layer effects are powerful tools, and when you combine several of them together, you can save them as a style.  Styles can be saved as a file, just like brushes, patterns, gradients, shapes, etc.  You can find many styles for free on the internet - just download and use them.  Let's jump right in and learn how to use them.
