What action removes any applied layer styles from a layer?

• A. Delete Layer Style
• B. Clear Effects
• C. Remove Layer Style
• D. Clear Layer Style

Answer: (D)

Layer styles are a group of effects applied to a layer, like shadows, glow, or bevels. To remove every style on a layer in one step, you use the command that clears the entire Layer Style. This returns the layer to its unstyled state. In Photoshop, that option is Clear Layer Style, and you can access it from the Layer menu (Layer > Layer Style > Clear Layer Style) or by right-clicking the layer and choosing Clear Layer Style. The other names aren’t the standard way to remove all styles at once, or they refer to removing individual effects rather than the whole set. Clearing the layer style is the direct, complete method.
