Modifying an existing Style in PSE 6.0

[stuffedpretzel]

I am not sure if this is possible or not but I thought someone here would know. I have a drop shadow that I use but I end up changing the settings on it a bit to get the look I want and I find myself changing those settings all the time. Is there a way to modify an existing drop shadow style? or Doing a save as... so that I don't have to change the settings all the time?

Thanks for your help

Hi ...

Sadly you can't save Layer Styles in Elements ... you need the full version of Photoshop to be able to do that ..

Just FYI, if you're a subscriber, the people in charge have a video of mine that gives a possible workaround for this. The video hasn't been posted yet (and I'm not sure if/when it will) but keep your eyes peeled. I believe it's called something like Layer Style Library.

It's not a perfect solution, and it's not as easy as saving the style in the full version of PS, but it could work for you.

Darn it... I figured that was the case. Thanks for the replys. And I will be watching for that video... that give me another reason to subscribe.

Hi ...

There actually are workarounds ... but as Mike said not as elegant has having the style in Elements.

... but I won't give the details as Mike has already done the Video :)
