I have a layer that has the exact shadowing I want on another layer. Actually what I really want is to keep the image (colors etc) on one layer and just apply the 'shapes' and 'shadows' from another layer to it.

I've tried putting the layer with the image I want to keep above the shadowed layer and creating a clipping mask and that didn't do anything. I tried changing the opacity of the image that I want to keep to like 30% and that works, but it fades it out too much. I tried creating a pattern with the shadow layer and applying it as a texture to the image layer and that didn't work well either.

is this possible?

thanks in advance for your help.

Burr

You can right click on the list of effects on the layer pallet and select create layers at the bottom, and each of the effects you added will be on separate layers..You can then put the effect you want under the other layer..
