You can hide or show all layer styles in an image editing program (like Photoshop) by right-clicking the effect icon (often represented by an "fx") on any layer and choosing "Hide All Effects" or "Show All Effects" from the context menu.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Locate the Effects Icon: In the layers panel, find a layer with layer styles applied. You'll see an "fx" icon next to the layer name.
-
Right-Click: Right-click directly on the "fx" icon of any layer that has effects applied.
-
Choose the Appropriate Option: A context menu will appear. Select either:
- Hide All Effects: This will temporarily hide all layer styles across all layers in the image. The "fx" icons will become grayed out or have a strike-through to indicate the effects are hidden.
- Show All Effects: This will make all layer styles visible again, restoring them to their previous state.
Alternative Method (Potentially):
While the "right-click the fx icon" method is widely used in programs like Photoshop, some other image editors might provide a similar functionality within the Layers panel options or menu bar. Look for options like "Show/Hide Layer Effects," "Toggle Layer Styles Visibility," or a global effects switch within the layers management section. The exact wording and location may vary based on the specific software.
