Please elaborate. 

What do you mean by »same« exactly?

The same Layer Style as in »all Layers with Drop Shadows« or the exact same settings in Drop Shadows? 

 

How good are you with JavaScript and Photoshop’s AM code?

Thanks @c.pfaffenbichler

I have a file with too many layers. Some of them are with Blue color overlay, and I need to change the color to Red.

 

If there is a script that can be used please share. 

 

Regards.

First off: I doubt there is an existing Script for this specific task, but maybe someone else knows better. 

 

Secondly: Please elaborate properly. 

Are there only blue Color Overlays, are there others, do only the blue ones need to be changed or not, do the blue ones have the exact same blue or do they vary, …?

Hey @c.pfaffenbichler 

Each Blue object is in a separate layer (ungrouped), layer style (Color Overlay: 100cyan+100magenta).
I need to replace the color with (100magenta+100yellow).
Is it possible to group all similar layers with the same layer style and apply a new (Color Overlay)?
How can I change the Blue to Red without affecting the colors of other layers?

Sorry, I had some stress and couldn’t follow up and I am going to be on vacation for a few weeks now. 

I would recommend that you start a new thread and provide a sample image right away and hopefully one of the Scripting-savvy regulars will provide advice. 

 

Otherwise I might be able to get back to this sometime in november … good luck in any case!
