Doggie Pic/Drop shadow
Tue, 2007-10-16 12:49 — tkpowell
A friend of mine from PDX sent me this photo of his dog Mya. I cropped it a bit tighter and applied a wee bit of shadow/highlight adjustment. 
I also applied a drop shadow using PS. If anyone is interested, here are the basic,very simple steps. Go to the layers function and duplicate the original photo. You should have the layers tool showing. Create a totally new file that is bigger than the photo file. You can crop it later. Drag the new photo layer onto the new file and position. In the layers function, select drop shadow and create one. Play with the parameters. In layers, flatten the image, crop, draw a border if you want and save. I'm positive the other programs do this in a similar fashion. --Terry

Thanks for the tip Terry
BTW, did you know that you can easily embed photos and/or links into posts here? The toolbar above the Comment editing window has buttons for "Insert/Edit Link" and "Insert/Edit Image."
Sure, we know how to C/P URLs, but the beauty of a forum is that we shouldn't have to
Insert/Edit Image
Just drop in your URL
