When you make the horizontal offset zero, you make sure that the shadow isn't drifting right or left. So you have to contend with the fact that the shadow is the exact same shape as your object and the blur makes it larger than the original. It then blurs the shape and offsets it from the original. This means it's not following the shape and building a shadow, it's actually copying the entire shape and putting it on its own layer. ![]() It creates a shape that matches the object you're applying it to, places it underneath your current object and then applies a blur and an offset. You need to have a small blur, horizontal offset of 0, and a small vertical offset, also you need to make sure that "Shadow on new layer" is checked. ![]() I am trying to set a shadow directly below an image of a box, as though it is hovering slightly above an unseen surface. Are there controls that I cannot find? I drag the line to 6 o'clock, but the effect also creates shadows to the left & right, though I cannot figure out why? How can I create a drop shadow directly below a subject that does not also add shadows to the left & right of the subject. ![]() Why are the extra unwanted shadows appearing & how do I get rid of them? Are there any other controls besides those in the module window? I have aligned the shadow, using the drag-line function in the side window of the 'Drop Shadow' module (from the 'Effects' drop-down menu), to 6 o'clock, but instead of providing only a shadow directly downwards (as I expected, as though a light is shining from above) I get shadows also extending to the left & right of the subject, creating an unreal relief effect with shadows on three sides. I am trying to create a simple shadow beneath photographic images of a product box, but I can't find the parameter controls for the 'Drop Shadow' function in PSP X9. I am a complete newbie to working with graphics layering software & finding it very difficult to adjust to the concept having used only Lightroom for the last few years.
