Hey. I've created two lines using the single row marquee tool with four buttons between them, it's going to be a menu. I used the layer style Gradient Overlay to make the lines fading out in the edges, but when I tried to crop one button I didn't think of that the lines will still be faded out wherever I crop. So I have to make the layers for the lines non-editable, but how can I do that? It's unfortunately not like a type/text layer where you can rasterize the layer to an image to make it non-editable. I use Photoshop CS3 Extended. |

I am not totally sure what you mean, but let me take a guess. I think what you may be looking for is a layer mask, the easiest way of applying it is at the bottom of the layers palette.
If I am mis-understanding then perhaps you want to combine your layers to make the layer style an intergral part of your layer/s. Ctrl+Shift+E with all layers you want combined visable.
If either suggestion is not what you needed, feel free to post pictures or more explanation.
Welcome to the forum Kafhe and happy holidays.
