Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a framed lake photo floating with a soft shadow above a concrete wall, plus a title with a subtle glow, everything using layer styles. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Layer styles are effects that adhere to a layer, shadows, edges, glows, bevels, and more. Everything is non-destructive and automatically follows the shape of the layer content. Today we're discussing stroke, drop shadow, and outer glow.

Step 1: Concrete background and photo

Open the concrete wall texture photo as the background. Then select File, Place Embedded, and insert the mountain lake photo. Reduce it to about 60% with Free Transform and place it in the center.

Step 2: Adjustment dialog

Double-click the empty area in the photo layer row, or click the FX icon below the Layers panel. The Layer Style dialog opens. The list of effects is on the left, and each effect is activated by checking its box.

Step 3: Stroke as a frame

Click Stroke. Set Size to 14 pixels, Position to Inside, and color to white. The photo now has a white frame like a photo border.

Step 4: Drop Shadow

Click Drop Shadow. Blend Mode Multiply with black color, Opacity 45%, Angle 120 degrees meaning light from the upper left, Distance 25, and Size 30 pixels. The photo now appears to float in front of the wall.

Step 5: Text with Outer Glow

Add a white blue lake text on top of the photo. Open the text layer style, activate Outer Glow with a dark color, Opacity 60%, and Size 20, so the text remains readable over the busy background.

Step 6: Effects in the Layers panel

Notice the Layers panel, below each layer, a list of effects appears with each icon. Effects can be individually turned off, and right-click Copy Layer Style allows us to copy effects to another layer. Save as PSD and export JPG.

Done!

Done. We have opened the layer style dialog, created a frame with stroke, a shadow with drop shadow, text light with outer glow, and managed effects in the layer panel. The layer and mask module is complete. In the next episode, we will enter the photo retouch module.
