• Adding a drop shadow to a problem of .tiff

  Hello

  I have a file with various tiff images in which have the shadow effect that are applied to them. I'm done trying to do it in another image .tiff I inserted, but the shadow across the entire image, including the white surrounding the area, as opposed to the image in the middle.

  No idea why? What can I do to make the reduction of just work around the image in the middle of the shadow?

  See you soon

  

  

  When you save the TIFF, you enabled transparency?

  It's a small box and easy to miss.

• '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:

  

  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:

  

  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

  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.

• InDesign CS4 crashes when converting 1-column text box with a drop shadow to the col-2 (or more)

  I use InDesign CS4 in Windows XP Pro 64-bit, 6 GB of RAM. If I create a column 1 text box, fill it with a color, add a drop shadow, and then add text, everything is fine. If I try to change it to 2-columns (or), InDesign freezes/crashes. I thought at first that it is perhaps because the case was shot, but it happens even if the case is not turned. If I remove the shadow and try to change it, it works.

  Anyone know why this is happening or if there is a known bug or fix?

  Thank you

  XP 64 is totally supported. No troubleshooting should begin there.

• Drop Shadow problem with Photoshop CC 2015

  When I batch process drop shadow actions using Photoshop CC 2015, the decline in the shadows seem to completely mess up on some images, either hardly appear or enlarge much too big.

  All images are 184 x 184 with canvas 192 x 192, the installation program the shadow effect to use the available space.  And I even returned to CS6 using for now which works very well and CC 2014 worked very well, it happens only in CC 2015.

  What is even more strange, I have manually scroll actions step by step until I get to the drop shadow error, and if I double click on the action of the shadow, it applies perfectly well. But then, when I come back and perform the action it always creates the wrong shade.

  In my view, there is a known bug with the layer effects not putting the correct numbers in situations where you copy and paste the layer styles and executing actions, as you do. If all goes well there will be a fix soon.

• 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.

• 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.

• Drop shadow quality in print

  I often use the drop shadow in Adobe Illustrator effect or move the file HAVE in InDesign or export the file to PDF. The problem is that when the PDF or InDesign file is printed the shadow does not retain the same look of loss on the outer edge of the shadow. The image below shows a scan of a recent design, I created. The left image is printing and the right image is the file placed as a smart object in Photoshop. You can see that on the edge of the shadow to the impression that there is a significant advantage, especially on the white part of the background. In the smart object, the shadow falls correctly.

  

  What I found is that if I take the file in Photoshop first, flatten the file and save it as a PSD, then out of the shadows is not the same problem. The printed piece still looks as it should be by using this process.

  Although it works very well for the working RGB or CMYK, I have a file which must use spot colors in color so I can't align to flatten without converting them to an object in grayscale, then to a Duotone in Photoshop, but I really don't like how the design appears like a Duotone. I need to keep the file as a file HAVE so it retains the tones, but I need to know if there is a way to keep the edge of the shadows to be visible when the file is printed.

  You should not pass through hoops as you are to get what you want.  Your screenshots reveal a big problem in the period of INQUIRY where the same shadow will not look the same.  The printed version looks like it (the shadow) has been converted to 1-bit.  I see that you have selected "Transparent background" in the Raster setting.  In your dialog box print of Illustrator, (try the white background in option) which is the resolution of the document set on?  If you have the resolution of 300ppi Raster, your document must be set to about 5080 DPI.  Save the Illustrator (copy) file as .eps Spot Color.  I see no need to create an intense Black shadows.  All this might be connected to the output device.  'Fusion' and how do you use on the shadow if necessary?  Black must print too red.

• 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.

  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. (

  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.

• drop shadow

  I'm trying to create a drop shadow and then turn free. Here are the steps I took so far: I used the magic wand to select the background and clicked on 'reverse' to isolate the subject and put it on its own layer. I then created a shadow and tried to put it on a new layer underneath the first, but for some reason it is empty. Here is a screenshot of what my settings are.

  Here it is in CS4 - NOTE: choose layer at the top. Create layer will be available (not dimmed) after you have created the shadow.

• How can I add drop shadow to the digitized text handwritten?

  I wrote by hand and scanned a text, open in Photoshop CS6 and reversed tones to create white letters on a black background.  I made this file in Avid Media Composer and it superimposed on an image using a luma key to key on black.  Now, I want to add a small drop shadow to the text to make it more readable when it is bunk.  How can I do this in Photoshop before importing the file in Media Composer?  I realize I have to use an alpha channel, rather than a luma key, in this case, but I have no idea how to do to create the PS file with shadows on the letters.  I think I can learn the procedure to make a layer alpha from online sources.  I would be grateful for any guidance.

  Without having seen the digitized text I am not sure that the following technique is appropriate. That said, consider this approach, assuming that the scanned manuscript text is on white paper:

  1. open the file. The text is the background layer

  2 stir its background lock in the trash

  3 hold down the command key and click the new layer at the bottom of the layers panel. He will place a white layer under the text layer.

  4. the background layer is layer 0.  Select layer 0.

  5 double-click the layer color 0 in the layers panel to get the layer Style menu area

  6 down below is the "Mix" box if are two gray scales. Move the slider to the right of the grey scale top of the page toward the left and the White Book of your scanned text layer will become transparent. Click OK.

  

  7 Cmd + E to combine the layer

  8. at this point, you can place a layer below your text layer. Edition > fill with white.

  9, return the text layer and - once more the use of the layer-Layer Style - apply the drop shadow. (Clicking the shadow option will provide additional controls.)

• Adding of drop shadow label affect available

  I saw a cusious behavior by combining a shadow to a perspective transformation effect. The implementation is:

  There are labels in a VBox. Labels can get a shadow effect applied to their evolution on an external event. The VBox together then has the effect that perspectivetransformation applied. Now, what happens if the effect on the label change, all labels on the VBox change their position.

      @Override

          Label l1 = new Label("Label1");
          Label l2 = new Label("Label2");
          Label l3 = new Label("Label3");
          Label l4 = new Label("Label4");

          ds.setOffsetY(3);
          Button btn = new Button();
          btn.setText("Add drop shadow");
          btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
              
              @Override
              public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                  if (l5.getEffect() == null) {
                      l5.setEffect(ds);
                  } else {

                  }

          Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(10, 10, 150, 150);
          rect1.setFill(Color.RED);
          rect1.setOpacity(0.5);
          Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(10, 10, 150, 150);
          rect2.setFill(Color.DARKGREEN);
          rect2.setOpacity(0.5);
          rect2.setEffect(perspectiveTransform);
          
          box.setEffect(perspectiveTransform);
          
          StackPane root = new StackPane();
          root.getChildren().addAll(box, rect1, rect2, btn);
          
          Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
          
          primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");

          primaryStage.show();
      }
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          launch(args);
      }
  }
  

  One way to avoid this problem would be to put each item on a stack of component/group and manage the positioning by hand. Other good ideas? Someone knows why this happens (doesn't happen without effect on the VBox)?

  Either incidentally, happens in 2.2 JavaFX and JavaFX 8.

  It is not affecting available, it affects the PerspectiveTransform effect which - contrary to the page layouts - given the impact of the nodes nested. In other words - the labels are arranged in always the same whatever the shade, but then the perspective transformation takes the whole limits, including the shadow (different from the limits without a shadow) and calculates the result.

  I would recommend affecting enough padding the VBox perspective-transformed to accommodate the change of effect shadow so that the limits of the box that uses the perspective transformation are always the same.

  box.setPadding(new Insets(10));
  

• 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...

  

• 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

  

• Line appears when you apply the drop shadow on a large scale

  Hello!

  A few weeks ago, I had to make a graph on a large scale (800mmx2000mm) a roll-up banner. I wanted to apply a shadow to a rounded shape and ugly lines came. Because it's a little urgent, I decided not to use.

  But now I'm curious, so I quickly made an ellipse and added a shadow, so you will know what I mean. This also happens when I save it in pdf or image format.

  

  Maybe one day I'll have to use a drop shadow on a large scale. Then, someone knows how to fix this problem or what I could do in case I need to use this effect in these conditions? I use Illustrator CS6 in Mac with the Mavericks.

  Thanks in advance.

  Check and see that it is also.
