• 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.

• Drop Shadow problem in CS3

  I am running PS CS3 in Win7 and have noticed a strange problem.  I have a psd with a layer in which I have struck-out or erase the background.  I have a topic forground and the rest is transparent.  I have another layer beneath it.  I had a shadwo drop and when I increase the spread everything is ok.   Can I increase the size and I see a whole bunch of shadows that have nothing to do with the forground subject.

  Is there something in the layer because of the shade.  I tried several different layers with different colors to reveal what is there.  I don't see anything.  However if I use the magic wand, I would choose 'something'.  If I delete or hide in the location of the shadow, it disappears.  Something is there, why he can't be seen?

  Something is there, why he can't be seen?

  Because technically, even 0.00001 opacity is not 100% transparent and you're human - your eyes cannot distinguish these small differences in color and your computer cannot display it to start, either. Also have responded pretty well to your own question - they are stray pixels with a very low opacity and have to clean them properly.

• Drop shadow problem with Illustrator CS5

  I used the shade several times without any problems in photoshop and Illustrator... currently I'm down a white shadow on a black background, and even if the shadow falls correctly around the subject, I noticed that there is a kind of white extra blur what is happening several inches away from my images reguardless of what shape they are. I would like to know if a file would be useful, and I can send an example of the problem. Thank you

  You have a very large spreading and blur, you can try to increase the setting of the extra space in the effects of rasterization of Document dialog box

  or just make a clipping path to eliminate it

• '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

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

  import javafx.application.Application;
  import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
  import javafx.event.EventHandler;
  import javafx.scene.Scene;
  import javafx.scene.control.Button;
  import javafx.scene.control.Label;
  import javafx.scene.effect.DropShadow;
  import javafx.scene.effect.PerspectiveTransform;
  import javafx.scene.effect.PerspectiveTransformBuilder;
  import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
  import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
  import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
  import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
  import javafx.stage.Stage;
  
  public class NewFXMain extends Application {
      
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
          Label l1 = new Label("Label1");
          Label l2 = new Label("Label2");
          Label l3 = new Label("Label3");
          Label l4 = new Label("Label4");
          final Label l5 = new Label("Label5");

          final DropShadow ds = new DropShadow();
          ds.setColor(Color.BLACK);
          ds.setRadius(5);
          ds.setOffsetX(3);
          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 {
                      l5.setEffect(null);
                  }
              }
          });
          VBox box = new VBox(l1, l2, l3, l4, l5, l6);
          PerspectiveTransform perspectiveTransform = PerspectiveTransformBuilder.create()

          // To visualize the transformation
          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.setScene(scene);
          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...

  

• 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.

  

• 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

• Drop Shadow helps.

  Hey people I completely forgot how to do this.  This is a file that we use on our site of clan to our ranks (Yes the nerd here).  I'm modifying the master file to add new titles and emblems of game.  As we create the ranks we just hide what diapers actually us need and create a PNG file for our site.

  I do not remember how to create a drop shadow of nappies just I want and I have the drop shadow show upward on its own layer.

  Maybe I have to wait until we have the flatten, create shade and finally the PNG file.  Simply not save changes when we do this.

  Attached are some pictures to better explain things.

  

  As you can see the problem. I hover over the type, but the shadow does not move

  

  Look at just the layer with the shadow

  

  And a look at the layers themselves.

  What I can do, is just to create a rank of Moff and hide everything not related to this rank create me PNG file and down to the general and so on.

  Am I missing something easy?  When I go through effects and add it like this, I lose my embossed effect.  I tried selecting all and using Styles and style default shadow only lose my embossed effect.  There has got to be something simple that I forgot.  We have not had to change this since 2007.  I am also using Photoshop 5.1, but I have CS3 and installed 4 yet if this is useful.

  Thank you!

  Without analyzing what you put in in detail, let me say this:

  Rather than make the shadows separately, an effective way to keep the effects with pixels or the hidden vector fills or text is to use a layer, attached to a layer Style.  As well, if you want to make two layers have the same layer style, possibly as a starting point for other changes, you can right click on a layer, select the copy layer Style, then select one or several others, right click, then choose Paste layer Style.

  For example:

  

  You can change the layer styles once added to a layer simply by double-clicking on the style you want to change.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

  

  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.
