Now These buttons are your friends 👋
They appear in both the Layer Styles Group sidebar (1) as well as in the Current Layer Style’s toolbar (2).
<aside> ☝ Remember that hierarchy!
</aside>
(1) Layer Styles Group
Action Buttons in the Layer Styles Sidebar
<aside> <img src="/icons/reply-all_gray.svg" alt="/icons/reply-all_gray.svg" width="40px" /> These Action buttons apply to the complete Layer Styles Group with all the Styles in there.
</aside>
(2) Current Layer Style
Toolbar in the Layer Style Section on the right
<aside> <img src="/icons/reply_gray.svg" alt="/icons/reply_gray.svg" width="40px" /> These buttons apply only to the Current Layer Style that is active in the right Section (e.g. Color Overlay)
</aside>
When you have multiple Layers Targeted you will see that some of these buttons get a small triangle ◢ This means they open up a menu when you hold + click them. This is because with multiple layers there are more possible actions.
<aside> ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts
Just clicking the button once (without holding it) will trigger the first action out of the menu. But for an even quicker workflow memorise the keyboard shortcuts stated after the menu label to never have to open up a menu again ;-)
