They -- perfect. When you check out you'll save an additional five dollars off any order of thirty dollars and more. Some restrictions apply and you know usual stuff go to this site taken out godaddy.com. Now. -- mean the data's of the show. I'm asking -- here I've got loads into -- now few weeks ago I did a couple of shows devoted to that painting. However refer to it again today. Because we'll talk about layer styles. But not as layers thousand cells but little part about layers how's that most people don't even seem to realize. And stability the ability to go in there and play around those -- thousand patently of the layers that they were attached to it. Now we look at this and getting close to certain areas like we're already in here to these little players down here on the glass real close we'll see that. Most of these flares here have two different colors it is a blu. And yellow. Blue and yellow that two different part of those going on there I can only apply one layers that. So I'll show you how I did that. -- and create any. You file. The regular file Agnes. And that is so we can see things were quickly and then go ahead and invert that. I hit command I and rely on the PC. And it has inverted the background. And NBA player because that put everything and they later. Called the layer. -- And that with white. Is gonna go in here and draw a little sparkle. -- like that. Now. I want that shape to have different colors light hitting and is certain way to effecting its create two different -- Going there and I'll double click on it did give me my layer styles I'll get a little powder glow which I'm gonna make much larger -- that. And stronger in fact it's making nice kind of an orange color. Like that. And a little bigger."

" That thing we have this nice glow around. Click okay. I also want. A bluish glow. I want to think this article and move -- over to the side a little bit now I can't do that. With the dog door with a drop shadow. But I can't do with a glow. So I -- to do. Right here that's -- that's the out layers palate and -- bizarre effect effects outer glove. For the later -- Well I went to do is I'm gonna separate. That layer style from the layer. Come appeared later. And under layer style which is -- right here. There is a choice -- create layer. I choose that and look what happened. Notice that they are now two separate layers glow and -- outer envelope. They totally separate there I turn off my idea is that glow. And back on the Mac is -- out of glow in my move tool I'll move over to the left a little bit. Artists. Now -- and a blue glow -- go back to my original layer of the low. Double click on it. Out of -- again. This time options they do. A nice blue tone that say go with this light blue here. And I'll give -- a nice size. Stronger. Click okay I now have a blue glow around it which I also want to separate and bring it out a little bit so right -- receipt glow. How to -- So -- go and add layers. That layer style. Created there. And I'll have a second I don't know -- which we'll see that it is a new. I cannot take that no one and move that went over to the right a little bit. And there we can see that now my little white highlight has two different clothes going -- large one on one side and the blue one on the other. I was able to separate layer style from. The actual layer. To give me the ability then manipulate that as an individual later and do things to it distorted do whatever has done. Distortions -- here and say. New layer or -- file rather. And I'll get my textile. And we. Medica condensed. New mean 300 points Australia. 200 points. -- from Colorado get a nice read. This. End up on a -- been."

" Horror."

" As an endless moments make this. -- hundred points. That's better and you got a spot it right. -- There's a where are. In a background of want to go in and throw a nice little. Gradient back. So back here in black to white -- gradient tool of Belgrade and others are gonna start. A little beyond the area I don't want pure black packets and start out here and quality and that they get this nice kind of -- and this. There ago. So now the word horror. I double click on it. And I'm gonna give it a drop show that there isn't it isn't an option. And maybe you'll. And a -- a little bit. There's -- dropped out maybe give a little more distance. That is good this it would doing this reclined. And client says well let's kinda nice but maybe I'd like a different kind of effects of with a little more drama. They think well okay here I -- an -- player out of different concepts. I'm doing here and I wanted to keep this one let's keep this so lot of those Nevada. Duplicate that there. I have to turn -- the want to back. And this one that I just duplicated I'm going to separate. Layer stuff from. Create later. Now."

" Some aspects of the effects cannot be reproduced with -- now what happens when that comes up. That's just a little disclaimer just in case some things don't work which does happen sometimes you gonna say for instance you gonna. Merge two layers at -- layer styles of the wrong he did accomplish -- handles two letters. The result might be that one cancels out the other or you just it is weird mishmash. So that little disclaimer comes out that it immediately called Adobe say hey this thing network. So that's there. But I suggest you do have you got a situation where it is one particular there has a lot of layers thousand gonna merge into another they have a lot of things about create a layer. A brand new layer that's blank. And merged the layer with all the list out into that later they -- ever. -- you -- news. Merge goes to that -- when that becomes one later. Well in the -- become embedded in that there had been no conflict when you've been merged that into another layer as players --"

" But is it okay and then it happens now we see that we have the horror copies drop shadow. Second and they've got shadows is is now a totally separate layer back there that's grab that and -- move over a little bit byte behind the that is moving up like that. And meg going there and take might transform and let's say we use distort. And a poll that out like that. And pull this out like this. And this. Something really bizarre. Like that click okay it's moving into position so is right behind the word. Just like that. And now we got this. Much more dramatic looking shadow back there now one thing to keep in mind that as shadow is moving away and I that it should get a little lighter as it gets further back. So I'm gonna do one more thing that particularly since we created this weird effect here. And we have two different ones -- have. This one. Which has its regular drop shadow. And then put a client state we have this is our one. So to take that drop shadow layer that is created and given a layer mask. And layer mask I'm gonna throw in the totality. Is at this. There gradient in there so it's gonna get softer as it gets further away it's a little lighter code there. In the ocean but now it's getting a little later as tickets -- through if you want to make it softer. As is getting sort of further away which would also happen is the case right after creating alpha channel. So I don't know how to create an alpha channel. I didn't see everything. And in my alpha channel we know that black is going to expose. And we call it -- is -- going to expose them back is gonna hide when going to air and create a gradient in here. And exposed to -- that I want right to me like that created this little expense right through there -- making stronger like days ago. And I can turn that off go back to -- load that alpha channel. And and that mayor and it has my little mask I can now apply. A gauzy blur filter. It's gonna soften up that area back there based on what. Percentage that and click okay and -- we see that now we have this. Wholly different kind of a shadow and we can even lighten it upload it in and the capacities is not so strong and now we have."

" Different feel it all started from the original layer style which it separated from the layer second manipulate that. There's stuff that affect totally independent of the mayor from where it came. Although there's thousands do that satin. Inner glow -- boss you could separate those anyway you want and become individual layers that you can then go in there and modify. Differently from the original stuff. Hope there's something from that remember is that the end result is techniques they've got to that end result. Few modifications here and there you get a totally different effect play Saddam's plan Italian.
