Adobe® has vastly improved the layers Effects;
the biggest advancement of all might be the ability to combine multiple Effects into one STYLE.
Beside, Adobe realized that the effects from PS 5.x haven't enough depth to work on hi-res pix, now we got
enough control, but it results in "a bit hard to handle" -effects cause we're used to the
old parameters.
That's the reason why i wrote these styles... they should be a solid base to start working from -
don't tell me that they're not spicey, i know, they are not meant to be....
Download the styles (1,6 KB),
unzip and load them into Photoshop from the styles palette.
You'll find:
|
|
|
|
1. Bevel
Standard Bevel, nice highlights as we're used to.
|
|
|
|
2. Cutout
Push you objects into the background.
|
|
|
|
3. Outline
Pretty standard Stroke but might be a bit difficult to handle if you're used to PS 5.x.
|
|
|
|
4. GradientOutline
Something new in PS 6, possible since v.3 but now easy to use.
|
|
|
|
5. Neon
This was quite a lot of work (look at the gradient...) but resulted in a nice
Neonlight FX to start from.
|
|
|
|
5. Satin
I'm not really sure what we might do with this new effect, but for kinda gradient overlays or LightFX
it seems usefull.
have fun while exploring...
