Photoshop - scale layer effects.

[petesign]

So, long story short, I am wrapping a gas station awning and all of the pumps. I'm pretty excited - here's the thing, I designed it in illustrator, and brought it into photoshop as smart objects... now that the proof was accepted, I want to blow it up full size.. it has a LOT of layers and I wanted to keep them as smart objects so I don't lose any resolution..... after I blow it up, am I going to have to go to each layer and scale effects - or is there an easier way to do it before/after applying free transform? You would think photoshop would allow you to select an option of "scale effects on transformation" but I guess that would be too simple?

Thanks for any ideas.

Depending on how big it was, you would do it at scale ie: 3" x 10" at 720 dpi. flatten it, then when you print it at 72 dpi its full scale and all your blending options stay correct. Also, I don't know what version you are using of Photoshop, but CS5.5 I do believe you can make the blending options their own separate layers so they scale correctly.

Edit/Preferences.. etc.. look for the check box, scale effects

You can scale strokes, etc. in illustrator, but not effects in photoshop. I had already designed it smaller using smart objects to do the mockup, was hoping for a simple way to blow it up, not going to work this time. Next time, I will remember this and just do it fullscale from the get-go.

in photoshop, you can do the two moves separately. say you blow up your image 200% or downsample it 50%....

go to layers/layer style/scale effects

a little window will open up and you can choose your percentage. click okay and all your effects will increase or decrease accordingly.

it's primitive but it works.
