Creating layer effects and adjustment layers

- [Instructor] In the previous video,…we went over the gradient and the transparency tool.…And in this video, I'd like to go over the effects panel…and the effects in the layer effects as well.…Now, I've worked out this image a little bit more…in a little bit more detail.…We have a little bit of a drop shadow down here,…a little bit of a reflection,…and I've adjusted the colors a bit.…But, I want to show you how I did that…with the effects.…If you go over here to the right-hand side…and we're going to just drag out this effects tab.…

Now, I personally don't use this panel.…I prefer to use the panel that's found in layers.…So, I'm going to dock the layers over here.…And the reason why I don't use this panel is because…this panel is really great…if you want to apply effects really quickly.…But, it doesn't give you many options…for really customizing of this.…So, I'm letting you know it's there.…If you like to use it, if it works for you,…definitely use it.…But I prefer to use effects over here,…down at the bottom.…
