Does anyone know how (or if its possible) to scale a layer with layer effects (scaling the layer effects settings as well)?? My problem is I have a logo with multiple layer effects done to it. I now need to transfer that logo onto other sized documents. When I do that and try to scale it all of my settings do not scale with it. ie. a 5pt stroke effect on the logo stays at 5pt even though the logo is now huge! I can not rasterize the layer, I need to keep the sharpness for high end printing. Anyone...anyone...bueller? Monk |

Layer styles get applied to whatever data is on the layer, regardless of what that data is or what happens to it (ie scaling). You have two options : 1) Right click your layer effects from the layer palette and choose "scale effects". You should be able to blow them up a bunch. 2) Make a copy of the layer & rasterize it (or merge it rasterize isnt avaialbe). Then just take those pixels and blow them up using the 10% rule (don't increase more than 10% the final size at a time). Also as fig stated, you may want to use illustrator, especially since you mentioned high end printing. You might look into "Export > Paths To Illustrator". That may help if you have/know someone who has the program and can trace the logo. |

The scale effects under the layers option worked great! I just have to keep track of the percentage im scaling! Monk |
