Drop shadow effect is not visible

I use CS4 for Windows and I have several great books for her, but I'm still fighting fill a simple shadow on the picture effect. No matter what I try to use the fall simple shadow fx or suggestions complex building several different layers, I never see the final effect on the photo. I even click and uncheck "Preview", but it makes no difference. The photo displayed in the window of my CS4 continues to look like the photo when I first opened it. Am I supposed to flatten layers or somehow bring together them into a single layer?

I'm puzzled.

I'd appreciate any help. I'm sure I'm doing something completely ignorant, but I'm willing to drive me crazy to finally resolve this issue.

Once again, thank you.

Kind regards

Bob

When you have 'created' the canvas, did you actually go to the Image-canvas size and expand the area of the canvas, or just fill in an area around your existing image with white?

You must understand that the shadow appears outside the edge pixels of the layer, so if your image is taking up all the space of the canvas, the shadow will drop simply fall outside the visible area. Try to make a new layer and fill in a little box with any color, then apply the drop shadow effect, and you will see that it is not the edge of your box. The shadow on your image layer is applied the same way.

  • Why my Drop Shadow effect has disappeared?

    I used the drop shadow effect all the time in FCPX. Now it no longer displays in the effect controls panel and clips that already had the effect previously, now show that the effect is missing. I restarted the program and it is up-to-date.

    See if it is in the aesthetic category. If she is not there, try reinstalling the application.

  • For Drop Shadow Effects to InDesign help. Good or bad?

    I'm carrying a book in InDesign 5.5. The book is sent in PDF format to the Publisher of the book. The book includes about 400 pictures that many are wrapped in the text (clothing). My question is: what are the pitfalls or problems that might result if I apply a shadow to photos using InDesign, drop shadow functionality?

    I see two check boxes in the Drop Shadow Effects dialog box:

    Object mask Shadow & honors other effects of shade. I guess I want the object to knock out the shadow?

    You're probably going to want to knock out the shadow. There are times where you might want to do otherwise, but unless you are very familiar with the overprint and knockout, I would recommend to stay away. Here is more information on the subject: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-7038a.h tml

    The only trap I can think in aesthetics. Shadows are used when used subtly. To facilitate your work, instead of individually apply a shadow to your objects, you can apply a style object. This would allow you to easily make changes to all objects with the drop shadow effect. More on that here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WS5CEDB81A-0011-4dc9-9DE8-AC7AD4C80076a.html

  • Select text AND drop shadow effect

    I have a text layer which has also an effect layer shadow.

    If I have to ctrl + click on the thumbnail of the layer, as expected, it selects the text but is not also include the drop shadow layer style. I guess it's because the Ctrl clicking on the miniature mask selects the non-transparent pixels completely and drop shadow layer mask is slightly transparent?

    How can I easily select text and ALL pixels of drop shadow?

    In a Word, I want to choose only 100% transparent pixels, so I can reverse to select the 100% opaque text and < 100% pixels layer transparent drop shadow?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    The pixels are selected; It is that ants walking delineate only the boundary between lower or greater than 50% selected. To select completely all non-transparent pixels in your shadow layer, select as you did and go quick mask mode. Make sure that the quick mask is active in the Panel layer and run the threshold with a value of 255. Return to Standard mode, and you will see ants on expanded.

  • Drop shadow &amp; effects too rough!

    Hi guys, I've been on this during two days now. In the past, I've created a logo with the graphic style Pearl and adds a shadow to my text. I think that I have created to outlines. I've done a few pieces more than I think. I like to stretch and the effects Gallery etc. However when I use the effects Gallery on my text sometimes really blurred. I mean useless.

    I tried to create contours, raterizing and many different, what I am doing wrong? All effects are pretty useless and there is no major changes, I'm doing something wrong. A few hours ago the effects went well, that I don't remember what I did. It just seems to be vectorize, then rasterize. Then when I've traveled efffects Gallery they showed good. But I can't reproduce what I did.

  • Help with two text objects which are spaced closely shadow effect...

    Hi all


    I have 2 text objects, the two effects of shadows drop applied, as they are spaced closely, his shadow effect is quite visible on another text as its white colored text...


    What should I do if the two text will be clearly visible / no drop shadow effect to a text on another?


    Sorry, I'm completely new to this... Please give a link if there requested similar question already here...

    Thanks for taking a peek @ the question...

    Vish...

    If you put the text layer that has shadow top above the layer which is the cause, it will go away.

    If the effects of two layers are performing each other then you just put one on the other.  You need to go and fix it manually.  There are two ways to do this:

    (1) in the menu effects for shadows check the box that says 'layer mask hides effects '.  Then create a layer mask and simply hide the shadow where you don't want to.

    (2) put the layer with the shadow in a group and put on a mask of clipping on the group.  You can then paint in the shade.

    Stamp 3) visible, then layer mask.

  • FW Drop Shadow problem

    I created a website at FWCS3 and when I put a background behind it (in DWCS3), drop shadow effects that I do not work with all colors other than white.  Can someone give some advice?  If I use another color for the background shading looks terrible, like a grayish color please help.

    What you need to do is to save your images as a png with transparency files... Then the shadow will look at all the horizons of the color.

    This does not work in IE and below without a javascript fix.

  • Drop shadow can be found in paragraph 12.1 AE

    Hello world

    Has anyone noticed? Drop shadow behavior has changed recently, perhaps between 12.0 and 12.1 updated.

    Historically, shadow was applied before transformations, letting us compensate for the angle of the shadow when you turn the layer at the same time.

    Now it seems that we don't need to compensate, as if the angle of the shadow was applied after transformations.

    It is certainly a set practice to date, but is there a way to reverse this behavior to the old, to end of compatibility?

    Thank you

    David

    There is no change in this area. My guess is that you sometimes used the drop shadow effect, which comes before the transformations, and sometimes used the style layer of shadow, which comes after. Another possibility is that you sometimes use the effect on continually of pixelated layers, which have a different rendering order.

    Details:

    Hello

    Thank you

    You must check the transparencySettings. There are several levels of these parameters (fill, stroke, content, etc..)

    You need to check: TransparencySetting.dropShadowSettings.mode for each of these levels.

  • Why the drop shadow is not available under the effect - style?

    I'm having the hardest right now time with the functionality of the illustrator of the drop shadow. It's nothing exists for me. I have the selected object I want to apply the effect to and the only option available is Scarlet contours. Nothing else is there as an option or even gray. I restarted my computer and closed Illustrator several times and that doesn't change. I have also opened up a whole new file and just drew a rectangle and went to effect - style and it still only gave me glowing edges. I'm at my wits end on this one.

    There are two submenus aesthetic. Glance to the top.

  • Effects of text in InDesign, drop shadow, outer glow, etc...

    Hi, I'm in InDesign CS4 on a PC running XP.

    I was wondering if it is safe to use text effects in InDesign the drop shadow, outer glow. I think someone told me earlier that they are best used in Photoshop especially if you want to print. I just wanted to check that I will be having something printed with the help of ID...

    Thank you.

    I've never had a problem with shadow or a glow on text in ID when you go to print, but I let my live transparency and let the printer handle flattening RIP. You can have problems with a printer that has old equipment and insists on having a flattened PDF, but if it happens press (rather than the digital output) even what is unlikely, although I tend to stay away from the effects of ads where I'm not supported the selection of the printer.

    The only way that you would avoid flattening of the questions by the effects in Photshop would be to flatten the image in Photoshop and placing this, but this will rasterize text unnecessarily and will probably lower quality type in the final output.

  • 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

  • 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
