Saving Drop Shadow effects

Dragonhome  wrote How do I save the new drop shadow I create so I can use it again?  When I do scrapbook pages, I need to use drop shadows of different depths depending on the object.  I would rather not have to do all the steps each time I need to use a drop shadow.

Tips:

- The last settings you have created are 'sticky' within your session. You can always select your layers and add the last settings.

- Within an editing session, select the layers needing the same settings and apply it at the same time. Much quicker than saving and retrieving a given setting from a library.

- If you create very special settings (more than thickness), why not use the following procedure.

You create a new .psd or .tiff file. Each layer will have a particular setting. You give the layer a descriptive name. That will be your drop shadow (or other style) personal library. You keep that file open while working on your project. When you need a given style, you switch to your library, select the style, apply it without changing anything. The saved settings are available when you switch back to your main edit.
