CSS builder for shadows, backgrounds, and borders

As someone who makes a living selling layer styles[1], I have to say this is very cool, but also slightly worrying ;) I've been trying to figure out how long the market for Photoshop addons will last, as CSS and other technologies advance to the point where everything can be done in the browser. Clearly, we're getting closer.

Making a living via Photoshop layers? can you elaborate a little? are we talking supplemental income or a significant/all of your income doing this?

Amazing never the less!

At the moment, it's paying most of my bills while I work on something much bigger ;)

I always love reading things like this. It's always good to keep in mind that it doesn't take an earth-shattering idea to make a living.

You'd be surprised. I know photographers that make a decent living selling PS actions, templates and Lightroom presets. Usually more than they make actually taking pictures.

The glass effects look good. I noticed you are using fastspring which I have been considering as a payment processor, Have you had any issues with them? Also can you tell me how well does it handle digital downloads? The way it releases the download to the paid customer, or is it something you handle yourself? Thanks for any advice.

So why don't you start selling CSS with them too?
