Change default drop shadow to images/objects settings?

Total pain in the tip to set each placeholder, drop for each individual picture in presentation page 180 +.

I guess I can change the settings on the accessibility of drop shadow button above, but how?

Sorry, I'm pretty noob to InDesign, but have lots of exp in other software.

Thank you!

Hi Jason,

Your best bet is to set a style of object - this would just contain the information of drop shadow. Then you can apply object style to each object that you want to shade.

Using this method, if you want to globally change the shade at any time, you can do this simply by changing the style of the object.

Kind regards

Malcolm

  • IDCS3 Mac application effects change the color of the images and other objects

    Something strange happens in InDesign CS3. Hope someone can help me.

    When I apply an effect such as drop shadow to an object the colors of all other objects on the page change. When I say change I mean almost like the profile (for example, RGB to CMYK) conversion. The colors change all objects on the page but does not affect objects on other pages of the same document. Applying an effect such as shade or gradient change the profiles of other objects color?

    Very confusing. Is this a bug or I do something wrong?

  • How can I add drop shadow to a car that changes direction?

    Hello

    Flash CS5

    Is it possible to add the drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are like MovieClips png images) such as as vehicles change along the roads (also the png images) the shadow is still projected to the North West ot the vehicle? Buildings in the basic png image have shadows but vehicles must also to be part of the scene and seems wrong.

    How do we?

    Is there a control over the opacity and smoothness?

  • Why the drop shadow options change all layers not only the photo im working on?

    I have a poster with different layers, like text, photo, etc.  I have inserted a new photo and make a shadow, changing the size, spread and distance, but when I change some of these options as the angle or distance all the layers on the poster who shadows behind all the changes that I chose for the inserted picture.  I reproduced just the photo layer to use a drop shadow (using only the option of distance), then it changed all the text on the poster with her.  ??? None of the layers are related to each other.

    Only the angle of the drop shadows can be (and are by default) linked together. To enable or disable this feature use the check box use Global light right next to the Angle selector

    Shadows are transparent. Transparency affects something with which it interacts. There is also a known issue that the screen darkens when transparency is on the page and occasionally makes in PDF format as well.

  • Can dreamweaver adds a drop shadow to an image?

    I'm newbie DW and not a coder.

    I have a page with a background image, there is a photo that I want to apply a drop. I applied a box-shadow for the an img and also for the container property, but of course, they are in the wrong place because it does not apply a drop shadow to the image. Ive searched the forums but only to find ways to add a shadow to a box, or good suggestions to apply the drop shadow in PS. The problem with doing it in photoshop, it's that I had to make the canvas bigger than the image that puts a white border around the image I want. (I use DW 5.5)

    Any help much appreciated.

    If you are using Photoshop, you will need to put your picture with a drop shadow over a transparent background layer (denoted by the checkerboard) and export/save for web in PNG with transparency.  See screenshot.

    You can also use the icons of resizable police as great police or Glyphicons in web pages.  These can be decorated with borders CSS, colours and the shadows-text way to ordinary images cannot.   See the example below for more details.

  • How to add a drop shadow on this flattened PNG image?

    First timer here-

    When I hide the blue globe Wired where I want the shadow, the Inspector no longer allows me to add the effect.

    Is there a workaround or solution in a different way to select the globe, to make the world its own layer and apply the effect?

    Thank you very much

    Hello Ken, I'm not sure that I can help because I don't know what a 'wired blue globe'.  However, you have described as a flattened .png.

    If you try to add a shadow to a .png of resource file in your Fireworks work?

    NB.  It is unusual to flatten a .png file, because the .png files are used for transparency and flattening out this quality.  I use Fireworks CS4 and a PC, and I've tried both a normal and a flattened .png.  These image files have been imported into the document, on any given page, then their own layer.  In addition, I right click the none flattened .png and was still able to add a drop shadow.

    Make sure that you did your household and know that the asset you are trying to add a drop shadow, is highlighted in the layers panel, and you are on the right page. Also, make sure that the view of the page layout is in iconic Mode [top-right]: which means go all the panels icon and the properties panel is entirely visible.

    For PC, set the value of the assets, choose Properties, click the small arrow next to the + sign, filter located. If this does not work for you. Then give more info on how you created the asset, what operating system you are using and what version of Firefox.  I hope this helps.  Sometimes, all programs Adobe sort of can get stuck.  So just close doc and open again and hopefully, should dissipate the bugs.  Best wishes

  • The drop shadow layer style angle setting back to default when reloaded into the new file

    My question is how do to prevent the following occurs. I created a shadow layer style in a file .psd with the parameters below.

    Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 12.50.03 PM.png

    I saved it in a file .asl I could use later. When I loaded it in a different .psd file later that day there, some parameters have remained the same, but the angle back to 30 degrees to 120 degrees all on its own, as shown below.

    Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 12.50.15 PM.png

    I just want to know how to keep the layer style settings I recorded in a file .asl return parameters when loading in a new .psd file.

    My systems settings are as follows:

    Photoshop CS6 extended Version 13.0 x 64

    Mac OSX 10.8.2 with 705,44 Go off 749,3 GB available

    The only other software I am running is Safari web browser

    This is my first time trying to save a layer style and use it in a .psd file different than the one I created in.

    Kind regards

    First thing you should do is update photoshop help > updates in in photoshop cs6, as many bugs have been fixed and your always on 13.0

    (not that your description is a bug, but version 13.0 had a lot of glitches that will drive you crazy when you meet one)

    Also, overall lighting can be different from one document to the other as you use global light selected in the drop shadow dialog box

    Layer > layer Style > Global light > corner

    See if uncheck Use Global light makes all the difference

  • Question about the size of the drops shadow

    Hi all!

    I created a style that contains only a custom shadow. I frequently use this style of illustrations that I am creating a book.

    However, since the update to 2014 CC, I had a problem with the style. The size of the shadow is different on each illustration that I apply it. I initially created the style to have a px size 7, but now, when it is applied, the size is sometimes 22 px, sometimes 30 px, sometimes 5 px.

    Can someone tell me what is happening and how I can get the size drops shadow remains constant whenever I apply it?

    Thanks in advance!

    In my opinion, than if you create a predefined layer style Adobe store the resolution of the document that you were editing when you created the preset in the preset this Photoshop which allows the effect of style to the resolution of the document to which you apply the style layer presets.

    Layer style setting as you are in absolute terms in pixels.  That means the size of the shadow would would vary on document with different resolutions, notice in the layers of the menu it is layer > layer Style > effects of scale... and dialog (s) in the size of the Image there is a scale Styles box or a balance setting Styles...

    If it works differently in version CC 15 is then was CC version 14, they can be a new bug.

    If you want a shadow of 7px regardless of the resolution of documents that you can be able to save an action that add a PX 7 shadow using the layer Style dialog box does not use a predefined style.

    I created a Drop Shadow preset on a 300 DPI Document distance 2 px size 7px.  Then, I recorded an action the applied than preset and then applies the same settings using the style layer instead of the preset dialog box.  There is a big difference on the way in which the two steps were recorded.

    When I walk through the action on a 300 DPI paper shadows looks the same.  On a 72 dpi document that the shadow of a Preset seems small as 300 DPI document however the step which was recorded with the shadow layer Layer Style dialog box looking for him much more leap has been reduced to match the resolution of 72 dpi for documents.

    So it look like if you use a style of layer preset in style palette, the effect will be to change the resolution DPI of documents.  Notice in the action there is a layer Style scale 100% in step recorded using dialogue layer style.   Where the pre-defined DS is applied some how by Photoshop and Photoshop will scale the effect...

  • Change the colors of the images between monitors while the user interface remains the same

    Hey! Im having a problem where photoshop change colors when I move the window between my monitors, see here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j is not due to the monitors themselves being different, it does actually change after a few seconds to move inbetween the monitors. The left was callibrated with an elite group of spyder 3 I do not have access to. I applied the file with windows instead of the utility of spyder color management. The second is new, and it is not callibrated by what that is, but instead was done by hand with integrated RGB brightness/contrast/custom settings. Two of them are very close to eachother, so enough for my taste. but when photoshop changes which looks like the image, it is causing problems. Curiously, when I disable calibration of the screen on the left, the image doesn't change color between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they do not match to the top and all the screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that won't do me any good. Something else interesting to report, is when this image is saved as a. JPG and read with firefox, the image appears exactly as the monitor on the LEFT (which is my primary monitor) despite the monitor left which is the force has changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that photoviewer windows behaves in the same way, although firefox does not work. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look alike, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image such as the brighter and redder that firefox works. It's frustrating, because it seems that photoshop changes the image with my measured on my monitor left to match what it looks like on the web, it does. but it does not for the monitor right, or the left is uncallibrated. Another question, I can see with this is even if the user interface is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have suggestions?

    -BD

    What you need to understand, is that Photoshop converts the image data, the document profile for the display profile, independently for each display. It is a managed pipeline standard color display. Windows Photo Viewer does the same thing (but do not have a lot of other applications).

    When you move a picture on the screens, it snaps when you drop; as the new display profile is picked up.

    Calibration is only partly about changing the monitor's response. The second part a profile, which is a complete description of the screen in its calibrated State. Then a conversion of standard profile is performed as he goes to the screen. The profile has a much higher level of accuracy than the single calibration.

    ---

    If the image on the web has the stripped document profile, Firefox with default settings does not have this conversion and sends just the unchanged data to display. In other words, it is not color managed. This behavior can be changed, but get your first straight base display profiles. Unless you get a new calibrator it is no that you can do to match these two views.

  • 'Drop shadow' creates a line - problem

    Hello

    I am in the process of producing a card (17 x 22 inches) and I met a quite disturbing problem with "shadow" effect

    I tried to drop shadow on a size of 12 x 18 inch object with these settings:

    2014-07-24_143327.png

    And I got good result on all of the form, except the lower part, that give me a line. As the cuts through the dark thing:

    2014-07-24_142426.png

    I would add that the object is on the single layer and nothing interacts with it.

    At first, I thought that maybe it's display problem, not the shadow itself, so I zoomed in and out, but nothing has changed. Then I made sure that all anchor points are connected to each other - I'm sure that the object IS closed. I tried to manipulate anchor points, slightly changed the shape of the object, add, delete some anchor points, changed settings shadows - nothing makes no difference in how the shadow looks like. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    ANIA

    I don't know exactly what the problem was. I had to open the DS in so just AICS6 rid of all the other stuff and applied to the object. Happy to help you.

  • How to create this type of drop shadow to a vector

    Hello!

    I wanted to ask you how to create this type of drop shadow to a vector in illustrator. I've seen these files and tried a lot to create that effect

    123.jpg

    The shadow under the letters make this beautiful banner.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I wouldn't have the effect of "vector". I could do this:

    1. Select the text object
    2. The background/contour value 'None '.
    3. Add 2 attributes of filling level of the objects in the "appearance" Panel
    4. Give the top of the page a 'white' and low 'Black.
    5. Select the fill 'Black' and it has an effect of "blur".
    6. Set the transparency of the fill black to "multiply".
    7. Save the appearance as a 'chart' Style and assign to each character separately

    If you want to change the character of a select skin, make the changes, and 'Option' drag the thumbnail from the appearance on the graphical Style available today. The changes will appear at any location, the Style is used.
