I want to have a white rectangle, without a black or other border, sitting on a pale yellow ground. But so the rectangle does not look pasted onto the ground, I want a drop shadow around two of the sides. I do not want to use a plugin for this.

And how do I use this:
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?
If I write a text, it exports the CSS correctly (font, color, size...).If I export the CSS from a red rectangle, rounded corners, drop shadow, the CSS shows nothing but the rectangle. No color, no rounded corners, no drop shadow.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor my business card design I have white text overlapping an area of very white grey- causing readability issues (insufficient contrast). It looks great apart from this one problem, so I still want to keep my white text and light background and fix it by separating the text and background with a darker drop shadow..
First, I added a black drop shadow to the text- but this was not enough to increase readability (text still looked faded on background as drop shadow was too subtle at 85% opacity, 0.04" blur) so I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow (100% opacity, 0.02" blur + 18% opacity, 0.02" blur). This produced a heavier drop shadow effect for my text as desired but, for some reason, the text came out slightly grey in print (offset run). It seems the drop shadow somehow got printed over the text itself to some extent- turning the white text somewhat grey (and so not looking as clean as intended).
How could this dropshadow bleed into the text happen? Is it to do with the fact I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow? I would have thought that, even then, the text should entirely overlap all of the drop shadow as the text is the top layer in the group.
What can I do to ensure that drop shadow does not print over text in any way in future? Do I have to stick to only one layer of dropshadow-or is there something else I'm missing?
I add a slight drop shadow to my text in an ebook cover I'm working on. Can I do that in paint.net?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
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?
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.
the perspective viewport suddenly turns to a red ground with yellow objects. when I zoom in/out, the graphics return to normal, but only momentarily. this is not occurring in the other viewports. is this a video card issue or should I redownload and reinstall the software? my video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670.

I'm trying to remove the blitz shadow from head and body on a white/grey background, with the Lasso tool. The adjustments with Brightness/Contrast in the chosen area works like a charm, however I always get a nasty pixeled or whitelined boarder going constantly around the edited area; no matter if it boarders to a black area (shoulder) or a gray one (wall behind person).
I've tried to edit the primary/secondary color, with no luck. Any way to make this boarder "blend in" to the new brightness area - or to just remove it? The edited area is somewhat identical to the old background, so there is no natural reason to why it should be a constant boarder.
Or is it a better (and easy!) way to remove blitz shadow from a black and white picture?
I want to cut the part of the yellow rectangle off the circle. Easy peasy with Photoshop: Layer 1 for the blue circle, Layer 2 for the rectangle, Layer 1 Control + click, then Layer 2, invert selection, delete.
Of course I can delete nodes and adapt the shape to the curve, but I don't know how to cut the figure quickly in Illustrator.
I have been obsessed with this effect, but have never been able to manage it (at least not on pictures of me). Apparently it's not a secret, because people have figured it out, like in these two album covers I have attached. (Fallen by Evanescence and Burlesque) Now, I also realize it's possible that Photoshop may be the only program that can achieve this (with the masking tool maybe?) and Paint.net can't. I just need to know these things. It's difficult for me to attempt, how to phrase my question without photos.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?
How can I get this type of shadow that fades and goes in that direction?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm building a web page and wanted to add some drop shadows to my photos to make them pop a little. how to add a drop shadow,
1.First way was I selected the entire photo and tried a layer effect. Didn't work.
2. Then I created a new layer that was a rectangle. put it behind the background copy and tried to add the dropshadow to the rectangle thinking it might show up from behind the bg layer. I couldn't even add the drop shadow to the rectangle.
When i apply a drop shadow to one layer, then add a drop shadow to another layer, their directions stay linked so when i change the direction of the 2nd shadow, the first one moves too. Why is this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedDrop 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 ?
I'm using corel draw x5 and my monitor shows white as very light yellow, the only way to stop this is to change the color conversion settings to none which then turns all the colours to RGB which don't relflect the colour that would be printed.
