ilanlut Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi All, I'm a newbi and can't get the shadow effect to work even after reading the instructions. is there a simpler explanation or screenshots of that? Sorry for my ignorance. Appreciate your help. Ilan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 If you're talking about this drop shadow plugin, it only works if the object you want to drop a shadow from is surrounded by transparency (grey checkers.)

ilanlut Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm talking about the whole process. Somehow I don't get the transparency business. When I open a new layer and go to effects>drop shadow - nothing happens! I opened a larger blank image, pasted on it my original image, and when I went to drop shadow - again, nothing! What am I doing wrong??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
