Presets

On top of it all Dresser has its own built-in Presets Library with customisable thumbnails.

You can even use this for all your After Effects presets (.ffx) if you don’t like working with the native Effects & Presets panel. Or if you just want a more visual overview of your presets.

    Save Layer Style(s) as a Preset

Save a single Layer Style or a combination of Layer Styles as a Preset from within the panel. Dresser will automatically create a thumbnail. Or you can create one yourself from the current frame of your active composition.

Free Layer Style Presets included!

To get you started there are 100+ free presets included with your license (e.g. Gradients, Metals, Neomorphism, Neon

All users can download the presets library by signing up to the mailing list. This helps me keep you in the loop when new presets, tutorials or updates are released. You can unsubscribe at any time. Trial users get a smaller sample pack (9 presets) + a fun WordArt Presets pack.

I was thinking if AE could've rebuilt their UI for the Layer Styles, but you did it and this whole thing is aesthetically pleasing

Working natively with layer styles is quite painful, so this is great. Had to buy it right away, thanks for making it Berend!
