Photoshop is my tool of choice for visual design. It’s incredibly powerful and has a ton of functionality to make your life easier. One of my favorite features is styles. Styles are a method for saving your layer styles for future use.

After a few tries you like the look of the last button…

In the layer style palette select New Style. You’ll be prompted for a name for your style.

And there you have it. You can recreate the style any time you want with the click of the mouse in the style palette.
