If you're interested in taking advantage of the powerful new layer capabilities in Photoshop CS--including support for nested layers (up to five levels deep!), a Layer Comp feature that lets you store multiple designs within a single document, and the ability to work with layers in 16-bit images--you've come to the right place! This powerful book/CD combo is chock-full of one-click makeovers guaranteed to transform images instantly and easily, helping you employ layers effectively and creatively in the process. Better than filters--not to mention cheaper, more efficient, and easier to use--the CD's myriad Layer Styles transform photos into paintings, and type and graphics into metal, gems, glass, and just about anything you can conceive.

Layer Styles and effects.
