For many of the effects you can set a blending mode just like you can with a regular layer. You do this in the layer effects dialog box. This only controls the effect. You may need to also adjust the one for the layer as well.

Hi all

Once you have applied layer effects to a layer, is there any way to get
this
layer to interact with underlying layers in the usual way? For
instance –
once you have applied say, a color overlay to a layer, how can you get
this
layer to screen/multiply/dissolve/darken/whatever the layer below it?
TIA

Ian

?
not 100% sure on what youre taling about, but thats not you, thats me
being
tired. 😉
i could suggest that you merge the color overlay with the layer below, making the effect permanent, then you could play with the layers below it?

Yep – that works … I created a new, transparent layer below the original and merged down, which had the effect of ‘flattening’ the effects layers. Thanks!
