Written by Steve Patterson.<\/div>\n

In this first tutorial in my series on Photoshop layer effects, I cover everything you need to know to add layer effects and layer styles in Photoshop CC 2020! We'll start by learning the difference between a layer effect<\/em> and a layer style<\/em>, and how to use Photoshop's layer style presets to add instant one-click effects to your images. We'll look at the brand new layer styles included with Photoshop 2020, and I'll show you where to find the missing styles from earlier versions of Photoshop.<\/p>\n

From there, you'll learn how to add and edit your own layer effects, and how to take full advantage of Photoshop 2020's amazing new gradients and patterns. I'll even show you how to add multiple copies of an effect to the same layer, how to scale layer effects to fit your image, how to save your effects as custom layer style presets, and more!<\/p>\n

This tutorial is exclusively for Photoshop 2020 and newer<\/a>. So before you begin, you'll want to make sure that your copy of Photoshop is up to date.<\/p>\n
