To harness the real power of Layer Styles you’ll want Presets. Luckily Dresser makes it a total breeze to Save and organise Layer Style presets from within the panel.

Happy with your style?

You can save the Current Layer Style or the Layer Styles Group depending on if you click the save button in the Layer Styles Sidebar or in the Layer Style Toolbar

Find the Save Button (here)

Opens up a prompt to save the Layer Style(s) as a preset [preset.ffx] file. The panel will automatically create a png-file of 100x100 besides the preset with the same filename for previewing purposes. You can adjust this thumbnail from the presets menu itself.
