Scaling layer effects (Photoshop)


    A layer style may have been tuned to look best on a target resolution with features of a given size. Using Scale Effects allows you to scale the effects contained in the layer style without scaling the object to which the layer style is applied.

To scale a layer effect:

  1. Select the layer in the Layers palette.
  2. Choose Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects.
  3. Enter a percentage or drag the slider.
  4. Select Preview to preview the changes in the image.
  5. Click OK.
