P: Ability to scale layer styles when transforming a layer

Thibaud, please see this script by Paul Riggott: http://www.photoshoptechniques.com/sh....

I found a decent workaround for this issue. If you want to scale a layer's styles when transforming it, convert that layer to a smart object (right-click the layer > Convert to Smart Object). You can still double-click the layer to edit its styles but when resizing it as a smart object, the styles aren't affected and retain their proportions. This is assuming that your layer styles are applied to the layers within the smart object and not applied to the smart object itself.

I know there is the 'scale option' to scale the effect when you right click on the layer style, but i think it should have a feature when you scale multiple layers with effects you should be proportional to its original size.

eg. I have a logo with text and a few strokes when i want to scale it down (or up) the strokes remains its original size, it should be something that could be scaled with proportion and through multiple layers at the same time

This is a must-have feature! Muhammad's example is good but to account for disproportionate scaling perhaps instead of the link button there should be a dropdown like so.

FX [dropdown] [100%]

In the dropdown would be Don't Scale, Link to Width, Link to Height, Link to Average, Custom. Then if Custom is selected you could manually scale the FX with the field beside the dropdown which would either be greyed out or invisible otherwise.

Anything would be an improvement over the current need to use Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effects.

Hello Mr. Jeffrey Tranberry
may I know ! will Photoshop team include that feature in Ps.CS6 when they release full version?

No. This topic should suffice.

Should I post a separate request for the ability to scale effects on multiple layers at once ?

We read and consider all requests submitted to this site - and offer existing workflows and workarounds to users as well.

My comment has indeed be removed from the merged topic...
this is unusual.

here is a common scenario which I believe should be addressed:
when resizing a folder containing many vector shapes layers with effects. Currently to adjust the layer effect scale after the resize you have to go through each layers and "scale effects" individually.

We do need either one of these options:
Being able to scale the effects of multiple layers at once.
Being able to scale the effect while transforming.(a single check box in the transform bar would do)

I figured this one would already have made it's way into CS5, CS5.1, CS6 now, but no... I believe this certainly is a recurring request, will it ever be addressed ?

You created a duplicate topic. I merged your topic, comment and vote to this thread. This site works on voting. Having multiple threads on the same idea doesn't help. It's better to have all the votes and comments on a single topic thread.
