I saw some responses online but they are either many years old or not as detailed. It looks like it may require a few steps, but not sure. The Effect>Stylize>Drop Shadow dialog menu only shows CMYK color options.

This doesn't appear possible to in CS5. Please specify if this is not the case and if it is possible in CS6.
I have experienced the following behavior:
1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.
I'm trying to create a shadow map and require a 2nd uvw channel to do so.
Using the unwrap modifier to create the map in the 2nd channel is ok, but after collapsing the stack, if I go back and re-open the modifier the 2nd channel UV's haven't been saved.

I would like to create an inner drop shadow around an image like the one shown here in Photoshop or Lightroom, and then automate it so as to use repeatedly on different images. I know how to make an outer shadow but not an inverse one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to produce a PNG image that will be used as a menu bar that has a shadow effect on the top side only. The image will ultimately be just 1 pixel wide and then be repeated as required to create the right width (length) on the web page. How can I slice the image without getting a shadow effect on any of the other 3 sides?
Obviously the edges of the image must be sharp so there is no banding effect when the image is extended.
I just downloaded Paint.Net and have been enjoying playing with various text possibilities, but i'm stumped as to how to create a 'long shadow' look to a text title...
I managed to reflect the title, and with a couple of attempts, managed to rotate the text, and italicise the reflection, but i was looking for a way to 'stretch' the reflection - any moves/ plug ins that could achieve this?

I can't post links at the moment but a simple Google image search of "stingray ocean floor" should yield some nice examples. I can't actually find any tutorials similar enough to adapt for this purpose. (I'd like to have the light ripples as the transparent part, and the shadows varying shade of grey to black)

But When I go to put a drop shadow behind it it comes up with this - " The combination of artwork size & resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized"
Why is it saying this? How do I put a drop shadow on it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedToday I upgraded from Design Standard CS5.0 to CS6, and as I am running Windows 7 64bit I chose the 64-bit version of Illustrator.
Now every time I start Illustrator it reports "Error loading plugins. Drop Shadow.aip"; after clicking OK it starts normally, but obviously without the Drop Shadow plug-in.
Then, I open a new document, draw a rectangle and select Effect/Stylize/Glowing Edges; the first time in a session I do that, Illustrator produces a pop-up saying "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT]", but on OK shows the Glowing Edges work area without problems. After finishing the Glowing Edges effect, I can then select it in that session without getting the pop-up. As Drop Shadow is in the Stylize category of Illustrator CS5 I suppose the pop-up is a side effect of the failure to load Drop Shadow.aip.
how can I get the plug-in to load properly?
I'd like to add drop shadows to layers without it hitting the background - so it only lands on the actual objects behind.
I've currently done this by creating clipping paths to mask off the unwanted areas, but this is a faily complex setup on the file I'm dealing with. If I change the positions of any of the (many) items on the artboard, I have to recreate all the masks.
Is there a simpler way without using masks, like, for example, just telling the file not to render effects on the background?
I'm new to Illustrator and trying to simply just add a drop shadow to some various texts. It would seem to me that when you enter text, all you would have to do is highlight and the drop shadow option should be functional. However, that's not the case.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a better alternative to my current vector graphic applications, mostly to create modern web and application UI's.So I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CC, to see if I should make the jump to Illustrator for vector work.
After using about half a day to learn the applicaiton and do some experimentation, I was going to apply an Inner shadow to some text on a button, to make it look indented, and was like "What the.....where's the Inner Shadow Effect?".I could see the Drop Shadow feature, and there's an Inner Glow feature (can't be offset), but that doesn't solve the problem of making shapes and text look indented.
just browse 'Inner Shadow' on Google, it's such a fundamental feature.Photoshop has it.InDesign has it.Fireworks has it.Even Sketch, the app for Mac has it. And Acorn has it as well.Hell, I can even write it in CSS3:
.example {
-moz-box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
}
So I looked around the web, and realized Illustrator has no Inner Shadow feature (!!), but there are work arounds. Here's an example: URL...
but when you are used to applying something so fundamental as Inner Shadow, to make your shapes and texts look indented with a single click (and easily adjust it live and experiment), then it's hard to get used to Illustrator.
