Scaling layer effects in photoshop

[.soulty]

hey all, ive been annoyed by this for a long while, since ive been working with a lot of content that needs to be used in many different dimensions i had the issue of when i scale a layer be it text or shape layer or any other layer with a layer effect stoke applied to it, when i scale that layer it would not adjust the layer effect stroke to accompany the scale, therefore it would retain the value instead of retaining the appearance.

In Illustrator you can switch this on by going to the scale options but ive yet to find out if there is a similar switch in photoshop.. any one got ideas? :book:

i know what you mean.... pretty annoying huh?

the only option i can think of is to rasterize the layer, but i'm guessing you've already thought of that. In any case, it's far from ideal as you lose all editability.

I hear ya. I've had the same problem, and didn't find a solution :(

Always design larger than what you need. You can then flatten it and scale down :D ;)

what he said...lol ^^

Kinda sux if you did not think of it before hand. One of the many small nuisances of PS... (enter the dotted line tool)

Layer > Layer Style > Scale Layer Effects works for me, although you gotta know the percentage of the scale...

^ Aha!! thanks jimhere. :)

now i wonder if this can be synced with when you scale a layer. :book:
