  • Click an empty area of the Styles palette.
  • Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and click the New Item button at the bottom of the Styles palette.
  • Choose New Style from the Styles palette menu.
  • Choose Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options, and click New Style in the Layer Style dialog box.
3. Enter a name for the preset style, set style options, and click OK.

To create a preset style from a single effect, drag the effect from the Layers palette to the Styles palette.
I think that pretty much covers it.
Is there a size limitation or certain type of file limitation on what you can save as a style? I'm trying to save a 200x200 GIF as a style by following exactly what you stated.

If I drag and drop it into the styles palette the thing pops up where I can name the new style, however, when I hit "ok" an icon appears in the palette that looks like the "default style (none)" and I don't know what the heck is going on.

I open up the image I want, do as you stated, and nothing. Is there something I must do to the image I want to set as a style first?

This is really starting to tick me off. I can't be this completely effing stupid.
