PSP 2020 - Anything new?

[ehume]

However. When opening another image with layers and using again the right click menu "Paste Layer Styles" nothing happens.
Not only doesn't it paste the copied layer, it doesn't copy the style either.

It copies only the Layer Style (settings), not the layer itself. It is the normal behaviour.
On my side, pasting the layer style applies the recorded style to the layer in a new image.

OK. I'll bite. What is a layer "style?"

[LeviFiction]

Layer effects. Found in your layer properties. You can add outerglow, innerglow, reflection, drop shadow, bezel, emboss, and even change whether or not the layer contents are visible. Layer contents is different from opacity as it only affects the layer image and not any of the effects applied to the layer.

So you could add an outerglow to text, then make the text transparent leaving just the outerglow.

And they can be edited infinitely. Fully non-destructive. We can't really script them but we can now copy and paste them
