As you know, layer styles are very handy - at any time you can re-open style settings and update the layer appearance.
In the meantime, you can't edit styles in the "regular" way. For example, how about erasing unnecessary shadow area?
- In the Layers palette, select a layer with the "fx" mark.
- In the Effects palette, double-click the "Effect Layer" thumbnail. Now the layer style appears in the palette as a separate "Effect Layer".
Keep in mind though that the style settings are not editable any more. Also, you can't convert the "Effect Layer" back to a layer style.
