10. Apply a Gradient Overlay effect to the Refrigerator layer. In the Layer Style dialog box (see
Figure 5.41), select the Black To White gradient from the Gradient Picker. Check Reverse and
set Angle to 125°. Increase the Scale slider to the right end at 150% to create a more gradual
transition from black to white. Click OK.

11. Create a new layer called Sinks and make it blue in the New Layer dialog box. Use the Paint
Bucket tool to fill the two sinks with black. Apply a Gradient Overlay effect. In the Layer Style
dialog box, check Reverse, select the reflected style (essentially two linear gradients reflected
in the middle), set Scale to 150%, and click OK. Figure 5.42 shows the gradients you applied to
the refrigerator and sinks.

12. Click on the Kitchen-A-mlwk-uppr layer. Apply a Stroke effect (see Figure 5.43). In the Layer
Style dialog box, set Size to 1 pixel, set the Position drop-down to Outside if it not already, and
click OK. This process outlines the existing line work with 1 red pixel on either side of the line,
to indicate the line of the upper cabinets that are above the plan cutline.
