Photoshop 2025 removed batch Clear Layer Style — WHY?!

[Hyalinemist]

I honestly can’t believe this.

In Photoshop 2025, the ability to right-click and batch clear layer styles is GONE. What are you thinking, Adobe? This has been a standard feature for YEARS and is essential for fast, efficient workflow — especially for UI/UX, web, and graphic designers who deal with dozens or hundreds of layers at once.

Now, the option is just greyed out when multiple layers are selected. Why would you remove something so basic and useful? Do your developers actually use Photoshop, or is this just an abstract experiment in making things harder for professionals?

I don’t want a workaround. I don’t want to write a script. I want the functionality that used to be there. This is not an upgrade — it’s a regression.

Please bring this feature back. Immediately.

Stop removing features we rely on. This is not innovation — it’s sabotage.

Do you mean the Clear Layer Style option from the right-click context menu? It works for me on Windows, so it might be a Mac-related issue or something wrong with your machine. Wait for someone with a Mac to check, or try resetting your preferences, but be aware that unsaved actions and presets will be lost.

It's there for me running 26.5.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.5 – Just make sure that your contextual click is on the name text or to the blank area to the right of the name text in the layer panel or on the "fx" icon, just not on the layer thumbnail or mask.
