I have recently returned to Photoshop after several years, and I remember there being an outer glow option in the Layer styles panel. I have searched this site quite a bit and I see that as recent as December 2022 the outer glow option was still available, yet it's missing in mine. I am using CC version 24.1.0 (up to date)  on Windows 10 Has it been moved/removed? and where can I find it? What am I missing?

Update: I found out how to get it back. In case anyone else has this problem: in the layer styles panel look to the bottom left and click on the fx icon down arrow. choose "show all effects". Not sure why that was set that way, but I'm glad to have found it!

    @sundown5925...........THANKS sundown!! This had me scratching my head too. (Why would Adobe hide all these Styles - just to drive us graphic artists crazy, I suppose!)
