What ASL stands for in the method setLayerStyleFromAsl?

In the docs for Node, there is a method setLayerStyleFromAsl. I have seen this ASL mention before. However I cannot quite get what the abbreviation is stands for.

Here the copy/paste from the docs.

bool Node::setLayerStyleFromAsl ( const QString &  asl )
slot
setLayerStyleFromAsl set a new layer style for this node.

Parameters
aslContent	a string formatted in ASL format containing the layer style
Returns
true if layer style was set, false if failed.
Definition at line 765 of file Node.cpp.

Ok. Should have read the docs before asking question :smiley:

An ASL file is a binary file format used by Adobe Photoshop to store sets of layer styles. Layer styles are effects and settings that can be applied to layer in Photoshop to add visual effects such as shadows, glows, bevels and more. These effects can be applied to text, shapes and other graphic elements in Photoshop.

Be carefully using ASL-Files and save any work before applying one to your work. Because ASL’s can use functions Krita does not support, they CAN crash Krita. But besides that, you can get thousands of cool effects for free from platforms like DA.
