Copy layer styles



Copying and pasting styles is an easy way to apply the same effects to multiple layers.

Copy layer styles between layers

  1. From the Layers panel, select the layer containing the style you want to copy.
  2. Choose Layer > Layer Style > Copy Layer Style.
  3. Select the destination layer from the panel, and choose Layer > Layer Style > Paste Layer Style.

    The pasted layer style replaces the existing layer style on the destination layer or layers.

Copy layer styles between layers by dragging

 Do one of the following:

  • In the Layers panel, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) a single layer effect from one layer to another to duplicate the layer effect, or drag the Effects bar from one layer to another to duplicate the layer style.

  • Drag one or more layer effects from the Layers panel to the image to apply the resulting layer style to the highest layer in the Layers panel that contains pixels at the drop point.
