How to separate layer styles on to their own layers?

Question

I know how to do this for all of the layer styles of a particular layer - I simply hover over any of them, right-click and click "Create Layers" from the contextual menu.

Does anybody know how/if it's possible to simply do this for one of a layer's layer styles rather than all of them?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't. It's all or nothing

However, nothing is stopping you from...

• Duplicating the layer
• Expanding the layer styles
• Deleting the style layers you don't want
• Keeping the style layers you do want
• Turn off the particular live style aspect on the original layer.
