What That Fill Field Does
In the Layers panel, right below the Opacity field is a Fill field, which has had Photoshop
users scratching their heads since it debuted several versions ago. It only kicks in when you
have a layer style applied to a layer, like a drop shadow or bevel. If you have something on
a layer and you apply a drop shadow to it, then lower the Opacity amount, the object and
its shadow both fade away, right? But if you lower the Fill amount only, the object starts to
fade away, but the drop shadow stays at 100% opacity.
