Photoshop :: Set Multiple Inner Shadows In Blending Options?
Apr 20, 2012
In CSS 3, I'm accustomed to being able to set multiple inset box-shadow values so that I can set four (or even more) inner shadows to a rectangular shape. In Photoshop, I can only set one inner shadow. I'm already using stroke for the border, and inner glow doesn't provide me the granular control I want for setting a different inner shadow color on each of the four sides of a rectangle.Â
In other words, imagine a rectanglular shape with a 1px border and four 1px inner borders, each of different colors.

i'm trying to cast a shadow, behind this polaroidy picture, that makes it look like its resting against any imaginary vertical surface and setting on an imaginary horizontal surface. The quality of my current shadow should give you some idea of how long ive been using photoshop
I've been working at it a little while and i cant seem to get anywhere. I have the feeling the trick lies somewhere in the confluence of two gradient shadows, coming together and bending to form a slightly darker area where the imaginary 90 degree angle would be.

When applying blending options like lets say a drop shadow, if i apply it to a layer and modify lets say the direction of the shadow it applies it to every layer with a drop shadow...same with bevels. Is there any way to prevent this?

how to apply the effects of blending options to a selection rather than an entire layer? My problem is that I have the template for the object I'm designing set up, and I'm trying to set up different textures and effects to different faces. Now, I try to duplicate the different faces on different layers and apply the blending options individually, and that's fine, but the effects are destroyed when I try to merge or flatten the image.

I was wondering if it is possible to apply blending options, such as lighten, to multiple layers faster than clicked each individual layer and setting the blending options for each one. Specifically, I am have a whole bunch of pcitures, I loaded the files into a stack and want to just make them all lightened. Can anyone help me?

I've selected the right place for the question. I'm working on a vector image and feel myself confused about layer blending options. When I resize the file, the Blending settings for layers get disturb causing poor effects.

I'm trying to make some recordings/actions, which I've done alot before, but I can't get all of my blending options to record. Specifically the curves to my bevel & emboss and my contour....after playing the action, it will apply the DEFAULT bevel and won't remember any of my gloss contour settings.Â
I'm trying to make these actions universal, however when I select a layer to modify, it records the name of the layer I click on...so if i use the recording later on a different file and it doesn't have that same layer name, then the action won't work...Â

I have been doing some graphic design in Photoshop CS6 Extended and since Friday it won't let me use the Adjustments that contain all the blending options. Keeps coming up with the message Program Error. I have updated EVERYTHING and run through my Mac with Apple support so it has to be something to do with Photoshop.Â

In PS CS4 In my layers palette, I used to be able to have an effect (ex. drop shadow) on a layer & drag that effect onto another layer so the layers would have the exact same effect. In CS4 when I drag an effect, I lose that effect from that layer & it is put on the layer I dragged it to only. It will not let me copy it anymore. Is there some key I should be holding down now? I am wondering what else I will be running into with CS4. Maybe that wizard will pop out & yell at me.

I go in blending options and do as he said in "Step 1: Build a Base" but I can't apply my newly created blended options to my layer.
Quote" Once you apply the changes to your rounded rectangle, you will have something that looks like Fig 1-4. "
Can't do that above? My button stays with the original color it was created.

So I have created some text in Photoshop on top of a dark grunge type background, using various blending options. Now I want to change the background of the image, but I want the text to retain its look. Is there some way to freeze the text layer and its blending options so that I can change the background while keeping the text's look the same?

I am working on a project in which I am trying to a achieve a superhero movie post type effect for tha background. I have a picture of building and a 100% opacity layer entirely painted the colour c5322c. The trouble is when I apply blending options, the red colour on the picture is no longer c5332c. It is absolutely necessary that I have the colour c5322c. Is there any way I can end up with the colour c5322c after using the blending options multiply, linear burn, overlay and vivid light? In other words, what colour do I have to start with on my other layer to achieve a product that has the colour c5322c? If the final result doesn't depend on the background picture (aka the building pictures), is there some sort of formula I can use or play around with the colours and blending options?

I rarely (never) use the default color or stroke size of my blending options so I always have to go through the process of changing those with every layer. There's got to be a better way. I would like to have my blending options default to what I use most so I could simply click stroke and move on.
How do you change/save the default blending options?

I can't seem to master this, it's simple in Indesign, but in Photoshop when I draw a line shape, and then go to stroke / drop shadow it in the layers blending options, it strokes a long rectangle, not a line. I'm doing this to mark off a road path on a map.

I keep receiving the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" when trying to access Blending Options for a custom graphic or font. It's completely inaccessible. It used to work just fine.
Â
The only other time I've seen this error is when running an action.

For some reason, even though the preview button is checked my blending options for one file aren't showing the changes to my image as I make them. In addition, when I exit the blending options screen, the options I've chosen are automatically greyed out--not visible.
It's only doing this on 1 file.

I recently upped my opinion of Illustrator and was really impressed with how I could change the appearance in the layers panel.
Â
Now unable to find it. Using a mac and CS5.5 when selecting drop down button it is not there any more. Layer options only gives silly basic options like the name of the layer etc. I just don't know what's happened.
Â
Created a brushed metal effect and unable to save as graphic style. This layers blending options was excellent and I can't really use much of the program without it.

I am having a problem in CS6 Photoshop where I never experienced this in CS3-5.
Â
I am designing a website and when I apply a drop shadow or inner shadow to a layer through layer style/blending options in the layers tab. It applys the same angle etc.. to all the other layers I have done styles too...
Â
I will have 5 + layers done with styles and I will make a new layer and give it a shape, open up blending options and when I do a drop shadow and change the angle I literally can see everything on my layout change angles also when I move it around for just ONE layers style... What on earth is going on? This makes it impossible to make unique designs unless I keep flattening my PSD and transfering stuff over which destroys workflow.

Why takes the rendering of only 1 layer with 3 letters (incl shadows) over 37 days on a pc with a 3770K, 16gb ddr3 1600, 550/550 SSD and GTX670 2GB....this can't be right....
Â
and when I want to render multiple layers, will it be possible to render them at once instead of layer by layer? If I merge them somehow the shadows are screwed up....

I have 5 images [in PSCS2] I want to subtly blend. I dont have the skills [yet] to get it right. I know how to make a layer mask, the eraser, how to use the lasso with feathering etc but I just cant get it right. What i want is to have one image dissolve [progressive transparency] into the next, not just a bland erasing of the sections, which is all i seem to be able to do.
I've attached 2 frames - one with the original images unprocessed and my attempt at merging in frame 2. I'm nothappy with it. I want some of the images to be moved closer together and have much more partial transparency smoothly merging these images....

I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and am having some trouble with my Blending Options. When my Blending Options worked, which I am positive they always did, I could click the italic "f" in the little black circle at the bottom left of the layers window and a menu would come up with "Blending Options" at the top of this menu and I could play with options such as "Drop Shadow" and "Inner Shadow" and the list goes on. Now when I click Blending Options in the drop-down menu all I get is a tool bar that comes up near the top of the screen under "File Edit Image Layer..." and it shows up with the hand tool at the left and a few other things as you can see in this picture. Also after I click Blending Options the entire program is rendered inoperable and the only way I can use the program again is by clicking the "ESC" key and in most cases it works.

And can it be for more than one photo?
Also is it what the above are meant to be like, obviously the middle one needs tidying up!! but its how they are meant to end up....professionally like the sky sunrise and the magazine one of several actors together...thats what I want to end up achieving, like the mag and the sunrise pic. :-)
Also does it work the same in photoshop....I ask as i have that, but find it incredibly difficult to use..(that said I found the above hard, but seem to have cracked )

I would like to know, whether is it possible to make soft blends between all objects of the person in the art I am creating. The problem is, that I want to make very smooth transition between all paths(brush strokes) in the file. I tried the blend tool, but it didn´t work good for this purose. Then I tried to blur or feather all objects, but the result wasn´t good as well. Opacity masks would be too complicated for all those strokes. Is it possible to make this work for all brush paths in the file?

How to Apply adjustment layers to multiple layers that have different blending modes and keep the colors the same as the adjustment done?
Â
I work in Animation painting Backgrounds. My files are sometimes upwards to 200+ layers.I will use adjustment layers to quickly balance colours and constrast on top of those many many layers.
Â
The only way that I know of how to apply adjustment layers it to every single layer ( by applying I mean I need to get rid of the adjustment layers because we cant use them in production but i need the new colours be applied to all layers underneath ) in a psd is to manually do it By duplicating the adjusment layer 200+ times and then merging each layer to one of those adjustment layers so that that layer can take the adjustment layers effect permanently.
Â
The issue is that Within Those 200 layers I have some layers set to Multiply or OVERLAY.   IT obviously wont apply the adjustment layer properly to those layers because those layer blend mode affect the layers under them. The colour wont be the same anymore in the spots that had the multiply blended mode.
[URL]
I have 2 adjustment layers up top. I need to get rid of them by applying them to each layer! I cannot merge any of the layers. We need all those layers for production.I can apply the adjustment layers manually and this works GREAT for all Layers set to normal. THey take on the colour change just FINE.
Â
However, The issue is that layer 6 and layer 4 are both set to mutiply and this screws up the colour once i apply the adjustment layers to each layer manually...
Â
How can i apply my adjustment layers to a file like this with some layers being set to multiply while keeping the layers exactly the same configuration and The new colour taking effect exactly how i looks before i apply the adjustment layers? Now the simple solution is to merge the multiply layers to the layer that it affects HOWEVER I NEED those multiply layers to be separate!Â
