Adjustment Layer with drop shadow not working

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to use an adjustment layer to apply a drop shadow to multiple images.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
I am creating a floating gallery in After Effects CC (latest updates are installed).
There are 75 photos and each photo is a 3D layer.
I want to add a adjustment layer to automatically add a drop shadow to all the images on the timeline.
It doesn't seem to work. Is there another work-around other then manually adding the effect to each image.
Thanks,
Cillian.

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the reply. I went and manually added the effect to each layer. For future reference, does it matter that the layer are 3D for a adjustment layer to work?

Image with Drop shadow not showing in table

I made an image for the header for my website. When I insert
it into my table, the white background is coming up with my drop
shadow. I made it on photoshop elements and saved it as GIF file
with Transparency checked. Any ideas so that it inserts into my
table like I see it on photoshop?

what is the background? an image? or a color number?
Does photoshop's color picker work outside of ps? If it does,
click it on
dw's design view window. If it doesn't, open the background
image in ps and
sample it. Or type in the hex color number if ps will take
that. if not-
convert the hex color to RGB.

Layers Panel, Adjustment Layer Icon for Curves not working

Why in the layers panel, does the new adjustment layer icon for CURVES initiate the LEVELS dialog? This seems to be a bug.

THanks for the prompt reply. Your suggestion to "reset workspaces" worked.
FYI, I'm working with Photoshop CS6 (v13.0.1 64-bit) on Windows 7. The
problem happened with various documents, including yes an RGB/8 bit
example. I feel stupid for not trying simple fixes, but I just upgraded to
CS6 and have experienced a couple of other issues (why did I need to
install ACR8.5 in order for RAW files from Canon 5D MarkIII to be
recognized when CS6 shipped with ACR7.1, for example?) so I had lost faith
and patience. But all is well again and I have regained my composure.

Drop shadow not working

Hi,
It's very strange.
I just applied a drop shadow to a shape and then went to apply to another and suddenly it's not doing anything. What's going on? Should I just restart or could it be something else?
Thanks!

Could be a problem with your drop shadow settings (not enough offset or blend mode set to lighten). Or maybe there is a problem with your shape (part of a much larger mask.

Drop shadows not working in firefox

Just designed and posted a splash page. In safari it looks great but in firefox the drop shadows don't load. Any ideas? My luck my client will be on firefox LOL.
http://www.lombardikitchenandbaths.com

That's a well know problem with FF and iWeb. Adding drop shadows, borders and frames to objets on a web page can add a lot to the "weight" of the page and result is slow loading of the page.
Tried to view your page and got a "The server does not respond at all." response.

Drop Shadow not working on rollover

I have a drop shadow set for an image rollover state and it is not working. I am sure I am missing SOMETHING..... Any assistance would be helpful.
Page is located here:
http://lisacarney.com/test/our-work.html

Thank you for the information. Your link saved me a couple more hours of pulling my hair.
Ironically, my outer glow style exported for some images but not others. It made no sense, and I had run out of ideas.
Was the fix released? I'm hoping it's still in the works. If not, my issue is very similar but not resolved yet.

Importing a .psd file - getting weird effects with drop shadows!! HELP!

Hi all,
I'm trying to import a psd file as my site and then animate each page.
I have each page set up as a different layer and am importing each page as a movie clip so i can animate each one separately.
The problem is that i have some images on each page that have drop shadows ( i have flattened these in photoshop so there is no longer the blending options layers attached). When flash imports all the layers it obviously has all of them visible at the same time initially.
When i then go through and separate each page to show at different points in the timeline, the images with drop shadows are now showing the image that was underneath it on import, instead of the drop shadow. Difficult to explain, but if you imagine a page with a square in the middle. That square has a drop shadow along two edges which is a slight shading. On a different page (on the layer underneath) there is just a big image of the sea (could be anything). When i import them, the page with the square is sitting directly on top of the page with the image of the sea. I separate these in the timeline so they show at different points, but when it's just the page with the square showing (the page with the sea isn't showing at this point), instead of the nice shading for the drop shadow, in it's place is the thin part of the image of the sea that was initially under the shading for the drop shadow....
Can anyone suggest what is happening and why, and how to quickly fix it in Flash. It took me AGES to import the whole site and all the pages, but now all the movieclips are completely useless because all the drop shadows are messed up with the images that were importing underneath them???!
I'm in a real rush here too, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

How to place multiple images in batch with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds at the same position?

I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

Lines around image with drop shadow

Hello,
I am currently using Illustrator CS 5.1 and am having an issue with my PDF files. I have a graphic that I am building and when I import an image, place a clipping mask around it and then add a drop shadow to it, everything works fine and looks exactly as I want it on screen. However, when I save the document as a pdf, a hazy white line appears around the edges of the image. However, the line is not on the clipping mask itself, instead it is on the square edges of the unmasked version of the image. So when I have 10 masked items on the page with drop shadows, I'm getting 10 faint white squares around each of the images which looks terrible. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations/solutions?
Thanks in advance!
Wil

Also change your acrobat settings to show overprint preview always.
If this comes back in Illustrator PDFs, Print >> Advanced >> Slide tranparency flattener to raster >> done , then save.

Drag and drop does not work in firefox 3

Does anybody has the same issue with firefox when you add a layout to the oracle composer and you want to drag and drop some components that it just does not work...
When i hoover over the title bar of a component i see the cross icon but the drag & drop does not work. WHen i do the same in IE8 or google chrome, it does work.
I have this issue for both oracle composer stuff as for sites i build in webcenter spaces.
We are working with the latest version of webcenter

WebCenter is compatible with:
* Firefox 2 & 3
* Internet Exploirer 7 and 8
* Safari 3.0
It might be caused by a firefox extension in your browser.

Grouping Adjustment layer with Gradient Fill layer

Page 151 of "The Missing Manual" suggests that one should be able to group a Levels Adjustment layer with a Gradient Fill layer so that the levels adjustment fades out to one side.
If I understand this correctly, the setup would be:
Levels Adjustment Layer (grouped with layer below)
Gradient Fill layer (with a gradient from Opaque to Transparent)
Photo in Background layer
but I cannot get the desired effect of original picture on one side blending through to adjusted levels on the other.
I can get the desired effect if I dispense with the Gradient Fill layer and simply manually create the gradient on the mask of the Levels Adjustment layer but this loses the advantage of easy adjustment of the gradient.
[Thanks to those who answered my question about linking a mask to a layer. As this is a separate query, I thought it best to start a new topic]

Sanders1,
I thought I'd try it, myself, and got results that I did not expect...
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1OVdT0C7oX46DsPm6TrfT5xxrm3h
1 - The background image.
2 - I created a Gradient Fill layer using color (red) to transparent.
3 - I created a Levels Adjustment layer, set to reduce red and green,
leaving a blue image.
4 - I grouped the Levels Adjustment layer with the Gradient Fill layer.
Is this the type of result you are seeing? I wonder what is the logic.

Trouble with Drop Shadow in "Web" Documents

Long ago I edited my <Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings\New Document Profiles> to add my copyright metadata and a few other things. I could swear that the Drop Shadow effect worked in all of the document types at that time.<br /><br />Now for some reason if I create a "for Web" document (RGB), I can add the Drop Shadow effect, but it isn't visible as far as I can tell. All of the other document types (e.g. "for Print") allow me to create drop shadows.<br /><br />Anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Interesting. Drop shadow effect works in all versions I tested (not well as
a .gif but it was visible)
So I added copyright data (I don't know what a few other things are) and it
still works fine in all document types.
I would suggest restoring to the defaults, get the drop shadow to work
again, then ad one thing back to your profilse at a time and see which thing
breaks it.

HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.
