object. To apply a style in a script, you use the 

apply layer 

style/ApplyStyle/applyStyle()

 command/method with the style’s name as an argument enclosed in 

straight double quotes. 

The layer style names are case sensitive.

Please refer to Photoshop CS2 Help for a list of styles and for more information about styles and the Styles 
palette.
