layer styles are one of the most important tools for a graphic artist
An idea. Perhaps the layer styles could be configured with some advanced options. For example, in a single layer effect, you could have it set to bevel all green objects that are round, add a drop shadow to everything, and fade anything that is blue.
My "pseudocode" example.
------------
<Parameter: Bevel> = <Boolean: True> IF OBJECT <Parameter: Color> = <Parameter: Green> AND <Parameter: Shape> = <Parameter: Circle>
<Parameter: Drop Shadow> = <Boolean: True>
<Parameter: Fade> = <Boolean: True> IF OBJECT <Parameter: Color> = <Parameter: Blue>
------------
Of course there would have to be slots for color tolerance as well.
I mostly did that just to show off my mad pseudocode skills and knowledge of what parameters and boolean values are lol. I just started learning some of this in college. Does it look realistic enough?
So yeah, that's my idea...

Wow, it sounds powerful, but I am afraid a bit unrealistic. The biggest problem is that it would require a vector image editor instead of raster editor. The information about the object being round or square is lost, all that is left are pixels. Until (if ever) RealWorld supports vector layers, this would have to be done manually by the users.
