Can you remove layer effects from imported PSD files?

[Ben Kei]

Hello all,

I have a load of PSD files that I need to edit and whilst I do still have a copy of CS5 on a bootable external drive, it's obviously a pain having to boot into an old system any time I want to edit these old CS files.

I have Pixelmator Pro and can successfully import the PSDs but on many of them, there's a top layer with an object with the Photoshop layer style, "Outer Glow" added and I'd need to be able to change this glow colour to match the new object/background colour.
But Pixelmator Pro seems to render these into the layer upon import. Is that correct? O ris there a way to edit/recreate the outer glow option from Photoshop?

Many thanks
