Some layer styles (such as Drop Shadow) are applied outside the layer’s

data. Some layer styles won’t be seen unless the layer includes areas of

transparency.

Why is there a “Layer” check box?

When marked, this check box lets you show the layer data with the

effects applied. When unmarked, this check box lets you turn off the

layer data and just show the effects. Unmarking the Layer check box

makes the original layer data behave as if a mask were applied to it.

Is there a reason for the check box order?

Yes. The effects need to be composited in a particular order to obtain

sensible results. For example, you would not want a Drop Shadow

effect placed on top of its source object, nor would you want an Outer

Glow effect placed under a Drop Shadow effect. Thus, the Reflection

effect is placed on top, followed by the Outer Glow effect, the Bevel

effect, and so on. The Drop Shadow effect is applied last.

What happens when I edit layers with effects?

Whether you edit a vector layer by adding new text or shapes, or edit

a raster layer by painting with a brush tool, the effects previously

applied to the layer are applied to any modifications you make.
