Question:
How can we apply a dark-colored Inner Glow layer style?
Answer:
When we want to create a shadow effect around the inside edge of an image (around all sides of it), we usually apply Inner Glow or Inner Shadow. However, both layer styles have limitations.
Inner Glow -- By default, this layer style cannot work with dark colors.
Inner Shadow -- The shadow won't apply to all sides of an image; it will apply only to two sides.
Fortunately, there are two workarounds. Take your pick!
Moto's Technique (tricks Elements into applying Inner Shadow to all sides of an image)
At Moto's request, I created an .asl file which does just that -- allows Inner Glow to work with dark colors and Inner Shadow to be applied to all sides of an image (and which can be customized, including scaled).
