Copying effects from one layer to another in CS3
I just upgraded from Photoshop 7 to CS3. They seem to have changed the behavior of effects and styles on layers.
It used to be if I dragged a single effect from one layer to another, it would COPY it to the 2nd layer – requiring you to remove it from the original layer if you were intending to MOVE it from one layer to another.
In CS3, it seems dragging single effects automatically MOVES it. Although you can choose ‘Copy Layer Style’ and ‘Paste Layer Style’ off the layer menu, I often just want to clone a single effect with all its settings to another layer.
What is the best way to do this now?

Option dragging of the effect in the Layers panel will copy the effect to the other layer

On Windows it seems to be the ALT key. I thought I tried that, but maybe I had accidentally hit the Windows key. Thanks!
