7.8.40 Effects/Layer Style
Layer Style opens the style dialog without changing the layer style of the
active layer. This means you get the current state of the layer.
In this dialog you can edit the layer style by turning an effect on and off and
by changing the settings.
Relative To allows you to set up the reference for angles and sizes. There
are three modes:
- Layer
- Angles and sizes are relative to the layer. If a layer with a shadow is
rotated, the shadow will be rotated, too. If the layer is scaled, the shadow
distance will be scaled, too.
- Group
- The angles and sizes are relative to the group. A shadow placed at the
bottom right will stay at the bottom right, even if the layer is rotated. But
changing the group will affect the layer style.
- Page
- Similar to Group the angles and sizes are relative to the page.
