- [Instructor] If you often use the same layer styles,…or colors, or fonts, or graphics, or even brushes,…then the Libraries panel can be a powerful way…to store these different elements…so that you can quickly apply them across documents.…Another advantage of using the Libraries panel…to store assets is that if you sign into Creative Cloud…on another machine like your computer at home…and your computer at work, all of your libraries…with all of these elements will be there.…Let's start by creating a new library.…
On the Libraries panel, I'll use the drop-down menu.…I'll create a new library, and we'll call this Photography.…I'll click Create, and now we'll start making…some changes to our image, and add those elements…to the Libraries panel.…I'll select the bamboo layer.…This is a photograph on a transparent background,…so when I choose the Effects icon,…and select Drop Shadow, we can add a Drop Shadow…by clicking Reset to Default,…and then just dragging it out a little bit…to make it a little larger.…
Then I'll click OK, and to add that Drop Shadow…
