| Note that converting layer styles to effects would lose several features of layer styles. There's a reason that layer styles come where they do in the render order: they function the same as blending modes, taking the layer and the underlying composite as the two inputs. Several versions ago, After Effects used to use Photoshop layer styles through a conversion to effects, and we got a lot of requests to process them natively as they are now. If you want a new feature that gives you the option of keeping them as native layer styles or converting them to effects, please submit a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish ________________________________________ From: After Effects Mail List [AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Phil Spitler [phil@bonfirelabs.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2013 10:44 AM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] editable AE text output from photoshop?
