Layer Styles : Proportionally scale values using percentage
Hi there,
I’m trying to figure out how to change the value of layer styles parameters using a percentage (drop shadow distance, spread and size) (pattern overlay scale).
For instance, I’d want to change the drop shadow distance from 6 to 3. 100% to 50%.
Ideally I’d want to be able to use a global control layer to make these percentage adjustments.
I only want to do this because After Effects doesn’t have a function to automatically scale layer styles like you can do in illustrator.
@danebberts – any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Add an effects > Expression controls > Slider Control to your layer and rename it to “Style Scale”. For starters set its value to 100.
Now on any property you want to control with that slider use this expression:
value * effect("Style Scale")("Slider").value/100; -
That’s amazing! Thanks for that, works really well.
