Expression Blend 4: Improvements to Photoshop file import

In Expression Blend 4 some layer effects (Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Color Overlay, Outer Glow, Inner Glow, Gradient Overlay, Bevel & Emboss, Satin) can now be merged with their layers.

If a layer effect has been applied to a layer, the Layer effect icon appears next to the layer in the Import Adobe Photoshop File dialog box. A layer effect can be imported either by selecting the Flattened bitmap import option or by merging the layer with other layers.
