updating layer effects

updating layer effects


Layer effects are automatically updated when you make changes to a layer. You can
edit the text and watch how the layer effect tracks the change. First, you’ll use the
new search feature in the Layers panel to isolate the text layer.

1 In the Layers panel, choose Kind from the Pick A Filter Type menu.
   The filter type determines the search options available to you.

2 Select the Filter For Type Layers button from the

   filter options at the top of the Layers panel.

Only the Island Paradise layer is listed in the
Layers panel. The search feature lets you find
specific layers quickly, but has no effect on which
layers are visible or their stacking order.

3 Select the Island Paradise layer in the
   Layers panel.
4 In the Tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool ( ).
5 In the options bar, set the font size to 32 points, and press Enter or     Return.


Although you didn’t select the text by dragging the Type tool (as you would have to
do in a word-processing program), “Island Paradise” now appears in 32-point type.

6 Using the Horizontal Type tool, click between “Island” and “Paradise,” and
   type of.
As you edit the text, the layer styles are applied to the new text.

7 You don’t actually need the word “of,”
   so delete it.
8 Select the Move tool ( ) and drag

   “Island Paradise” to center it beneath
    the word “HAWAII.”










9 Click the red Filtering On/Off button at the top of the Layers panel to toggle
   filtering off and see all the layers in the file.

10 Choose File > Save.
