how to add PS layer with layer effects
I have a text layer in my PS CS2 file that has ‘satin’ and ‘drop shadow’ applied to it. I need to import just that layer into AE 7 for use, how can I do it and preserve the transparency?

Disable the drop shadow in PS. I think you’ll like being able to apply the drop shadow in AE better. More flexible and you can animate it.
Not all layer effects in PS are emulated in AE so you have to flatten the image first in PSD and export the pixels as modified by the filters and effects.
Flatten your image over transparency and export with an alpha channel.
Instructions are comprehensive and available in both AE and PS help files.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
