Photoshop :: Cannot Get Shadow To Work In CS4
Jan 13, 2009
I have found a strange problem with CS4, if I load a file, create a background of a solid colour, and then paste in a masked image, the new image appears OK, and sure enough I can see that it is in the center of the background. if I then try to add a shadow to this top layer, nothing appears?? If I try the same thing in CS3 it works! does anyone know if there is a reason for this, or if I am doing anything wrong? I was wondering if there is a memory issue or if there is a setting somewhere that I need to check out. It does seem to happen only when I am working with some large images, I have though tried loading one of these images and then reduced it to 800 x 800 pixels, but still nothing happens. I really would love to find a working solution if anyone out there can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it...

I'm using elements 11. I'm trying to separate shadow into a new layer to work it. When I copy and past layer style into new layer, FX icon appears next to new layer, but no shadow. My settings are visable. I can see the shadow in the original image, just can't separate it into new layer.  It seems like I'm missing something simple. Is this possible in Elements 11?

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.

Any tips on making the shadow cast work? I have a background piped into action and some 3d text with a light. I add the shadow cast to the light and there's no shadow. Will the shadow cast on a backgorund or does a shadow need other media (not a background) to cast on?

In Photoshop CS5 some of the functions on 64 bit do not work, but everything seems to work on 32 bit. I have not searched for all the functions that don't work on 64 bit. I just use the 32 bit program, but I would like to know why the 64 bit program doesn't work right. I would like to be able to use it.

I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part. I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.
How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?
Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?
I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.
The attached jpg shows the intersection in question. I circled it.

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?

I'm trying to create a shadow but I'd like to make it so it appears like it's in 3D. The shadows utility under Layer Style makes a shadow as if the object would be floating on top of the other layer. But what if I would like to make it appear as if it would be touching the other layer at one point. For example a ball on a table or a person standing up on the grass.

I'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.

I must be losing my memory, where it is that I can add a shadow to some text. I just did this about a week ago and now I'm a blank.

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?

I would like to add an even drop shadow all around an image. But when I move the angle from O to 180 degrees the shadow moves. I want to make the drop shadow the same at 0 as at 180.

I have been using Photoshop for a while in various graphic-oriented tasks. The problem I am facing is as follows: I was asked to do a watermark on some images on a net-store. The problem with this is that I want to do them in an unorthodo-style. See I have done it all before, just can´t remember, nor find information on how to do it. I want to do the "watermark" from a shadow of a text, so that the shadow follows the pictures curves. I remember that there is somewhere in there a function that allows you to "count" the depth based on brightness etc. In other words I want an effect that a text is casting a shadow on a 3d-object, which here is a 2d-photograph. Somebody following me?
Could somebody please help? I have already made a font of the logo that is to watermarked. I plan to cast a shadow from it on the pic, then copypaste the upper part so that the text the shadow is casted from doesn´t show.

I found this excellent tutorial on how to change shadows, etc. It included the ability to change the amount, the tonal width and the radius, BUT, I cannot find it in my PS 7.
Is this function not available in Photoshop 7?
