Paint.NET :: Drop Shadow - Add New / Duplicate Layer

Jul 15, 2012

drop shadow plug-in?I know how to create drop shadow effects without the plug-in, but I'm trying to use the plug-in and am having no success.

1. I open Paint.net 3.5.10 and click the NEW button, then click OK in the New dialog box.

2. I create some plain text. I am using Arial 26 font and solid black color. The Layers window has one layer named Background.

3. I open up the Drop Shadow plug-in and just mess around with it, but nothing happens.

I have a feeling I'm missing a step in between steps 2 and 3. Do I need to duplicate the layer, or add a new layer? If I do, what do I have to do once the second layer is created?

Paint Shop Pro :: Drop Shadow On New Layer

Sep 14, 2011

This bug has always been in PSP. for as long as i can remember. but in previous versions it just sent it bananas. in this version it can cause a full crash and lock up.

If you have no layer below the one currently selected, for example you only have one raster layer (put something in this layer suitable for drop shadow,) and you select 3D effects -> drop shadow with 'shadow on new layer' selected every time you adjust one of the shadow parameters it creates a new layer. so you can end up with dozens of new layers. seems like part of the routine is to renew the process every time a parameter is adjusted but the logic that removes the layer doesn't work when the source is at the bottom.

new to X4 is that if my system is under high cpu utilization it just completely crashes. probably the method by which it allocates the new memory to new layers is timing out.

Photoshop :: Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow

May 21, 2004

I'm having trouble grasping this "Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow" via LayerStyles>DropShadow.

It's defined as: Controls the drop shadow's visibility in a semitransparent layer.

I don't understand. If the layer is semitransparent, and "Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow" is unchecked, I see no difference in the shadow..

Photoshop :: How To Add A Drop Shadow To A Vector Layer

Jun 30, 2007

I am trying to add a drop shadow to a vector layer and it is not working and was wondering if there is a way to add that and other effects.

I first created my box using the rectangle tool and filled it in with a solid color. With the layer active, I selected the "add a layer style" button to bring up my options. I then checked the "Drop Shadow" box and procedded to use the tools in the drop shadow box, with the preview boxed checked, as I made my selections, nothing was hapening to my solid color box where It was supossed to go.

Photoshop :: Layer Mask Reveal With Drop-shadow

Sep 30, 2012

I have an image silohetted on a transparent background. In order to put a drop shadow on it that only affects the bottom half of the image, I duplicated the layer, added a drop shadow layer style and a layer mask>reveal to fade the effect of the drop shadow. This worked but the layer masked added black or darker coloring to the over all image - then I reduced the fill on that particular layer to 0% and still got the discoloration. Why is the overall image getting darker with the addition of the lay mask on the layer style?

Photoshop :: Getting A Layer Transparent But Showing A Drop Shadow?

Aug 5, 2004

I have a transparent canvas and would like to put a "square" on it. I'd like the content inside the square to be transparent as well, but I'd like to apply the "Drop Shadow" and "Outer Glow" style to the box, while keeping the inside of it transparent.

When I try to do this, nothing occurs because the "square" is empty. The only way I can get the shadow to occur is if I fill in the box with a color, such as white, first. However, then the center isn't transparent how I'd like it to be.

GIMP :: Can't Apply Drop Shadow To Desired Text Layer

Aug 23, 2011

I'm an infrequent and relatively unskilled GIMP user. I have used drop shadow in the past, and have been using it this afternoon with no problem until I started working on one image where I can't seem to apply the drop shadow to some text. I've got a 3-layer image, a background, a smaller image on a separate layer, and a text layer. Whenever I try to apply drop shadow to the text layer or the smaller image layer, it applies it to the background. I've tried everything I can think of...deleting and recreating the text layer, changing the "level" of the layer, closing then reopening the image...closing and restarting GIMP.. I select the text layer, click "Filter > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow", and apply and it always applies it to the background.

Paint Shop Pro :: Drop Shadow Doesn't Work

Jan 22, 2013

I'm running PaintShop Pro X5 15.1.0.10 on Windows 8 (64-bit). I just tried to create a drop shadow, possibly for the first time since I upgraded from X4, and it just doesn't work. I mean nothing happens.

I added a white border, as usual, and then tried to create my drop shadow. I tried it with the default settings, and I tried it with some random settings. As I said, nothing whatsoever happened.

Inner bevel and buttonize work just fine. (I haven't tried cutout.) Chisel also doesn't seem to work; in fact, it seems to come and go. It's the same with outer bevel: it isn't always available.

I'm not a novice when it comes to PaintShop Pro. I've been using it since it was shareware. I've certainly done drop shadows many times.

I'm completely baffled. Other than uninstalling and re-installing, I can't think what to do.

Paint Shop Pro :: How To Do Rounded Rectangle With Shadow Drop Effect

Dec 10, 2011

Attached there is a picture made through PhotoScape where big outline rectangle is rounded. I am trying to do similar one through PSP. Drawing I found some difficulties:

a) How to create a rounded rectangle? I tried to use “rectangle tool” but I couldn’t find adjust to make it “rounded”.

b) Considering the possibility to create a “rounded rectangle” and applying “shadow drop” on it, will the shadow appear “rounded” as well? Or is there something to do?

c) In some tests I made applying “shadow drop” on a normal rectangle (as a new layer) the only adjust I could make after that was on “shadow size” (dragging the mouse). I couldn’t find a way to access effect properties to readjust attributes as “opacity” or “blur”. How to come back to “shadow drop” configuration panel (attached) to readjust settings as opacity or blur?

Photoshop :: Layer Style / Blending Options Applying To All Layers - Drop Shadow Angles

Apr 15, 2013

I am having a problem in CS6 Photoshop where I never experienced this in CS3-5.
 
I am designing a website and when I apply a drop shadow or inner shadow to a layer through layer style/blending options in the layers tab. It applys the same angle etc.. to all the other layers I have done styles too...
 
I will have 5 + layers done with styles and I will make a new layer and give it a shape, open up blending options and when I do a drop shadow and change the angle I literally can see everything on my layout change angles also when I move it around for just ONE layers style... What on earth is going on? This makes it impossible to make unique designs unless I keep flattening my PSD and transfering stuff over which destroys workflow.

Photoshop :: Angle Parameter Of Drop Shadow Layer Style Reverts To Default When Reloaded In New File

Mar 27, 2013

My questions is how to prevent the following from happening. I created a layer style drop shadow in a .psd file with the below parameters.
 
I saved it as an .asl file that I could use later. When I loaded it into a different .psd file later that day some parameters stayed the same but the angle reverted back to 30 degrees from 120 degrees all on its own as shown below.

I just want to know how to keep layer style parameters I saved in an .asl file from reverting back to defaults when loaded in to a new .psd file.
 
My systems parameters are as follows:
Photoshop CS6 Extend Version 13.0 x64
Mac OSX 10.8.2  with 705.44 GB used out of 749.3 GB available

The only other software I am running is Safari web browser. This is my first time trying to save a layer style and use it in a different .psd file other than the one I created it in.

Paint.NET :: Create Duplicate Layer Of Image To Darken

Nov 18, 2011

An image of a tree with fine branches in winter against a sky I want to darken. My goal is to create a duplicate layer of the image to darken but where the tree is transparent so I can put the darkened layer on top of the orignal image with an undarkened tree. Before my computer crashed, I used a plugin for this called, I thought, Alpha Mask. In this example, by selecting a spot on the tree I could make either everything the color of the tree or everything not disappear into transparency. But I can't seem to find the plugin now. I did look at the index of plugins and found some listings under Alpha, but none are described as the tool I need here (best I can tell).

Photoshop :: 9 CS2 Drop Shadow?

Sep 1, 2007

I drew a box, then applied a drop shadow going to the right. I duplicated the layer, then dragged it to the left of the first box. I edited the drop shadow to go to the left, and it changed, but so did the first one. I cannot get the two drop shadows to go in different directions.

I've tried different things, drawing separate boxes, etc. but it still will not work.

Does anyone know why this is happening or why I can solve it?

After Effects :: Drop Shadow In 12.1?

Nov 28, 2013

Drop shadow behavior has changed recently, maybe between 12.0 and 12.1 update.
 
Since ever, drop shadow has been applied before transforms, causing us to compensate shadow angle when rotating layer at the same time. Now it seems that we don't need to compensate anymore, as if shadow angle was applied after transforms.
 
This is definitely a handy update, but is there a way to reverse this behavior to the old one, for compatibility purpose ?
