Inner Glow is one of the lesser-used effects within Photoshop layer styles, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t as useful.

On top of creating a glowing effect, Inner Glow can also be used to simulate an embossed or cut out effect, create some depth within your styles, as well as add an inner stroke to your design.

Below you will see an example of how an Inner Glow can be used to simulate a shadow behind a cut out shape, and create an icy type effect. One tool, two very different uses.
