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.

Here is your screenshot. What happens when you click here?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Change default drop shadow to images/objects settings?

    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

  • 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.

    It is a text effect, right? The dialog box that you can open with the "Edit" button gives you a preview of the effects similar to the Photoshop effects. Here you will find the shadow (highlighted). You do not have as many controls as in PS, you cannot change the blending mode for the shadow:

  • 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.

  • 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.

        }
    }
    

    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...

  • '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 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

  • 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:
