Happy Sunday...let's see those sneak peeks

Happy Sunday and Happy Sneak Peek day!

Last sneak peek for January....let them start coming in

Let's start seeing those sneak peeks

It really depends on the style your looking for. Here's a few Brandy Murry has these 2: Layout Template Saffron Layout Template Grunge Block 2 Marlene Peacock has a ton. Alot of hers are 2 page spreads and are for multiple photos. I'll link her store below but if you go there and right under the banner at the top you'll see a drop down, choose templates/layout templates you'll see all of them Marlene's Store Another one is Miss Fish she has alot of options but has some great blended and masked ones Value Pack: Masked Memories 1-4 Templates by Miss Fish Value Pack - Blendy Template Bundle by Miss Fish Value Pack: Ready Set Blend 1- 4 Templates by Miss Fish

Yeah, it still doesn't look like you can change the main color. What you could try for this one, is let's say you are using it on a word art. Type out the word in the color you want it to be, instead of the normal "black" and then apply the style and try changing the glow, stroke.

Yeah, some styles won't have a color overlay. Let's say for example glitter. The designer may have the glitter pattern one color, then recolor that pattern and build the style with a pattern overlay instead of a color overlay. But quick tip with those, let's say you have an action you like with a pattern overlay and you wanted to use a different pattern. You can make your own. For example let's say I love this glitter but wanted a different pattern (I personally wouldn't use glitter since it's usually pretty flat, but it's what I had on my computer) and I wanted to use the pattern from this paper. With the paper active I would go edit>define pattern and that makes that paper a pattern Then on the glitter image I click on the FX next to it down in the layers palette to open up the style and choose pattern overlay That little drop down next to the pattern box, click that and then choose your new pattern. Keep in mind not all styles are built that same, so after you choose your new pattern, you may have to adjust the scale slider under that to get your pattern the size you want it. ALSO with that layer style box open and the pattern overlay choosen, you can now go back to your image that you have the style applied to move around the pattern layer. This is helpful because if you used a full paper like this one, what's currently showing on your image you applied the style to might not be the pattern you want to show. Then click ok and everything will stay "put" Back to color...you can also change the color of a style. So on my neon for example. Let's say you applied one of the blues like here But it's not the shade you really want. You can click on the FX and I would start with color overlay. Click on the color that's applied now and your color picker box will come up. Find the new color you want and then copy and paste that hex code at the bottom (the numbers after the #) Again, not every style is the same, but this one is built with not only a color overlay but outer glow, inner glow, etc. The reason you grab that hex code is you want to know what you changed the main color to. Click on outer glow, and you will see it's set at a lighter version of the main color. So go down, paste that hex code in the box, your outer glow will change to your main color, then you can pick a lighter color from there. I would copy that hex code because you'll want to change the inner glow to the same. Hope that all makes sense. Styles you can usually do alot with...because there's so many more tips out there, these are just a few. @MariJ I"m going to send you my neon style, because I know it has the color overlay built in. Try it in PSE and see what happens. I have a version of PSE but it's so old and not on this computer, I don't know if I'll get the same results. But I know PSE used to limit you to what you can change.

@MariJ what program are you using

Here's the style applied to an item, then I just went in and turned off the color layer so it's the style applied to just the butterfly

Let me go download it and show you what it will do
