Create new styles in Photoshop CS4

[Orbital Shark]

   Note

As this is not a Windows related feature i've not put it in the tutorials section

This tutorial/how-to will show you how to create a new style in Adobe Photoshop CS4
​

Here's How:​

1, With CS4 open, create a new file

   Note

I've selected a relatively small resolution of 240x240, any resolution works

​

2, Select the 'Rectangle' tool and draw a new 'Rectangle/Square' then click on a style

   Note

For this i'm using the 'Paperclip' style

​

3, In the right-hand panel (with the new layer selected), right-click the layer & select 'Blending Options'
​

4, Click on the 'Stroke' section then the 'Gradient' fill section

   Tip

You need to click within the Gradient to get the custom gradient options

​

5, You need to double-click each small box (highlighted) and change the colour to one of your choice

Once done, your new gradient is ready, just click 'OK' then 'OK'
​

6, Next, click the dropdown next to the styles selection on the right-hand panel and click 'New Style' and name the new style
​

7, Next, in order to have the new style(s) in order, click the dropdown again and select 'Preset Manager'

You can now drag & drop the styles as you see fit
​

That's all there is to it ​

Enjoy​
