No Shadows and more

[zoxelocoja]

If i use Shadowtools or other tools they will not work

 

as you can see no shadow

 

I've done this hundreds time and it works

 

What changed:

New Laptop with intel UHD 620 Graphic

Windows 10 with 64Bit

 

If i try Gimp, same problem

Is your text on it's own layer ?

Most Object tools won't work unless they've got transparency around them

 

This is most likely your problem.

 

BTW, @welshblue, congrats on passing me on rep points.  @lynxster4 is right on our tails...

Did you type your text on layer 2 or 3? 

[zoxelocoja]

Maybe i didnt understand how2 use the plugin?

 

In the last years, i've marked e.g. a rectangle on the background layer klickt on dropshadow, tada a Shadow appears.

I've tried this one minute ago with PSP, no problem.

I use the Drop Shadow tool everyday and it will only create a shadow on text or images on a transparent background. It has always worked this way!

Yes ^ that is how PDN has always worked AFAIK. If you put drop shadows on text written onto a solid colour background the drop shadows will be applied to the background ie. behind the whole image area and therefore completely hidden by the image itself.

 

In the example provide if you untick "Keep original image" the area within the selection box will display as full black (if you're using default Drop Shadows settings). The drop shadows are being applied to the whole of that selected area and only that area. Offset won't work because the working space is, again, just defined as that selected area. All you can do using Drop Shadows is change the selected area's colour and transparency.

 

Anything you want to apply drop shadows too needs to be in its own transparent background layer.
