Photoshop qu.

Unread post by Castile »

Heyas,

Lots of professional users on here so thought I'd ask here before the infinate wisdom that is google...when I made my new sig in CS5 (only used up to Photoshop v5 to v7 when I did my degree haha - yes it was that long ago!!) anyway I was trying to do a drop shadow just for castile/castilian but it applied it to the background layer as well.

How do you stop that? Do you have to do the drop shadow in a seperate image before you copy it over to the main image or can you limit the shadow to just THAT layer?

Thanks!

You need the castile test on its own layer before you apply any effect, such as a drop shadow, if you want it to appear only on the text.
