About ASL
An ASL holds Photoshop's layer styles: the drop shadows, glows, bevels, color, gradient and pattern overlays and strokes that make text look like gold, neon or stone. Photoshop saves them from its Styles panel, and designers share and sell packs of them.
Each style is a name and its effects, each with its settings, like colors, sizes, angles and blend modes, kept as Photoshop's descriptors. The patterns its overlays fill with come first in the file.
Filepeek draws every style on a square, with its shadows, glows, overlays, a bevel's light and shade and its strokes, and names its effects. Satin and contours aren't drawn, so a style can look plainer than in Photoshop. Save each as a PNG.

Questions
How do I load an ASL into Photoshop?
Open the Styles panel's menu and choose Import Styles, or double-click the file. Its styles show in the panel, ready for any layer.
Does Filepeek draw the styles exactly?
Near enough to tell them apart: shadows, glows, color, gradient and pattern overlays, a bevel's light and shade and strokes are drawn, while satin and contours aren't.
Can Krita or GIMP use ASL styles?
Krita can, from its Layer Style dialog. GIMP can't.
