Ultimate Collection of Free Photoshop Styles

Published in Design, Tools

Photoshop users can save time during the design process by  making use of layer styles. Whether you are saving your own custom style to be used multiple times throughout your design (such as with a button), or using pre-made styles created by other designers, taking advantage of this feature in Photoshop can greatly speed up your workflow.

In this post we’ll link out to a number of useful Photoshop layer styles that can be downloaded for free. Many of them have been created especially for text, others for buttons, and some are more general. Download the styles and apply them to your layers for instant results.

Pretty comprehensive list. Personally though I don’t really like downloadable layer styles that much. I understand that they are convenient, but I think if you’re willing to take the time/effort to come up with a custom design you may as well tweak your own layer styles. I would only use these as a basis to understand how certain effects were created, and then try to replicate these in my own work.

Tom,
I think your last point is key for me. I’ve used pre-made layer styles many times to understand how something was accomplished, or as a starting point that can be customized. One of the cool things about layer styles is that you can adjust them to meet you own needs without needing to start over from scratch.
