: How to apply layer style to one object and apply it to multiple layers I think what I may be looking for exists in Fireworks maybe, but I haven't messed with it. Basically, is there a way

A more effective way to copy/paste layer style is to set up shortcuts.

Edit > Keyboard shortcuts > Application menu > Layer >


Set up shortcuts:
Copy Layer Style – Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + C
Paste Layer Style – Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V
Clear Layer Style – Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X


Select layer in layers panel and press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + C
Select other layers and press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V

Hint:
you can set up a shortcut for 'blending options' too, but it's better to set up 'Drop shadow' shortcut or other option that you use often, than 'blending options'.

This is now somewhat possible with Photoshop CS6 or newer.

You can place all the layers you wish to apply the style to into a Layer Group. Then apply the layer style directly to the group.

Another option is to:


Create the layer
Add the styles you want
Right click the layer and select Copy Layer Styles
Hold CTRL/CMD and select the other layers you want to add the styles to
Right click one and Paste Layer Styles.

Photoshop has layer styles you can create and apply via the layer styles panel.

Initially when creating a style for a layer, at the bottom of the layers panel, click the little 'fx' button. (Add your drop shadows etc there on a per layer basis) You can create styles in there and manage them under the styles tab.
