I have a set of pictures that all contain one or more textlayers. I defined a new style and applied that style to all textlayers in all pictures.

Now I feel like changing some effects, getting rid of dropshadow or emboss. I would expect it to be an easy task: simply edit the defined style and all open pictures that have that style will be changed. But that is not the case. It appeared that only the specific layer where I change the style is affected. No layer in that same picture, let alone a layer in another picture is effected.

Can anyone please direct me in the right way of using self defined styles and changing these for more than one layer?
I couldn’t find anything in the helpfiles.

Thanks in advance

Gerard

AFAIK, you can’t. You can, however, in CS2.

Thanks for your quick response.
I was expecting something like styles in MS Word or CSS in webdesign te be implemented in a top product like Photoshop

"If you have a better suggestion, then how about presenting it."

300-400 dpi is not necessary, eats up time waiting for filters, saving so large files etc and the printer will throw away the extra info anyway.

In any print project, from my experience it is best to select the print shop first and get DETAILED specs from them BEFORE you do anything in page layout. Depending on the type presses and inks, paper selected and other factors like what software formats they prefer, there will be different outcomes with different printers. Many of them will provide you with simple templates.

If you just need type added to photos, most print shops will do this type of simple artwork for a very small charge. If you are not a professional layout person you should not really try to learn on such an important project. Aside from the fact that you do not seem to know how to create the artwork I am quite sure you will be befuddled by how to OUTPUT the files for a printer. You will save yourself time and money in the long run by using an expert.
