Drop shadow effecting text frames

hello indesigners.
i am applying a drop shadow to a text frame,and its getting applied to other text frames on the spread,and also i can see a slight colour change to my images as well.
what is happening?
thank you.

Drop shadows are transparency effects, so the preview redraws the spread showing the transparency flattening. There is a well-known "emboldening" effect for text on screen when transparency is used, and it can show onscreen in your PDF and low-res prints, too, but is usually not a problem with press output. Color shifting in the images probably means your transparency blend space is out of synch with the images.

  • Muse: the latest version is not allowing the drop shadow effect to apply to text

    The latest version of Muse is not allowing the drop shadow effect to apply to your text. It will apply to shapes but not the text. Anyone know what has happened or how to fix it.
    Thank you very much.

    Please use a System font for the text and not a webfont or websafe font. Also make sure that that the textframe fill is transparent.

  • Adding a Drop Shadow to text in InDesign CS6

    I have no character styles in my recent installation of Cloud InDesign CS6 and want to know how I import these effects.

    Character Styles and Drop Shadow, (an object-level effect), are not related. There is nothing to import.
    To apply a drop shadow to text, select (black arrow) the text frame and choose Drop Shadow from the fx menu at the bottom of the Effects panel, (Window > Effects). The Drop Shadow dialog opens where you set the parameters of the effect.

  • Paragraph style - Drop shadow on text

    Hi,
    I cannot find out how to apply a drop shadow to text in a paragraph style.
    It looks like drop shadow can only be applied to Object style.
    And object must be selected with selection tool. My text box goes up to 30 pages!
    I don't want all the text with shadow.
    Any help or cue will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Drop shadows can only be applied to all text within a Frame. You will need to separate the paragarphs you want a drop shadow from and Anchor those within the text.

  • Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image?

    Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image using Photoshop Elements 10?

    Yes.
    Open the Effects palette. In the drop-down. go to "Drop Shadows." You will find several listed. After you have applied, double click on the f on the text layer in the layers palette. This will bring up the Style Settings. Here you can fine-tune the shadow..
    Note that in the drop-down referenced above, there are also Bevels which may enhance your presentation.

  • Why does drop shadow on text only work when you rotate?

    I can't get the drop shadow to work on text while keeping it aligned horizontal. Seems to only show up it I rotate the text. Goes away when I put back horizontal. Frustrating. Just want to drop shadow text with out rotating. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks in advance.

    This was discussed here for many times.
    Drop shadow on text isn't implemented, because many browsers don't support it.
    If text has to be converted to an image (system fonts, rotating etc), shadow can be applied, because this effect will be part of the image.

  • SDK:  Changing drop shadow effect properties

    I have a text object that I've done Effect->Stylize->Drop Shadow... on.
    Using the COM SDK for Illustrator CS6, as an Illustrator.TextFrame object, how can I access the properties of this drop shadow effect?

    Hello again
    Ahhh, okay. Gotcha!
    The thing is, there is no drop shadow effect to configure. If there is such an effect, it's something that is simply part of the Text Animation that has been selected.
    I think the icon is a bit misleading and is simply intended convey it's not just regular text. I don't believe the intent was to convey there is a drop-shadow associated with a Text Animation. There isn't. At least not without it having been programmed as part of the animation.
    Does this help you answer the question? Are you actually seeing there is a drop-shadow effect during playback that you don't like or want? If so, you will likely need to choose a different Text Animation.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

    How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?
    In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
    Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

  • Drop shadow effect--I can't get it to stop!

    So I have successfully used the drop shadow effect in PSE 6.
    But I can't figure out how to disengage this effect.  I started using the clone stamp tool after I was done with drop shadow, and now all of my clone stamps have drop shadows!
    I don't want no more drop shadow.  How do I get it to stop?  I've looked and looked and don't see anything obvious.  Thanks.

    But there must some way to disengage those effects after you're finished using them.
    They usually don't hang around.  I'm glad resetting the tool solved the issue.

  • How to achieve this specific drop shadow effect?

    Dear all,
    Does anybody know how to achieve this specific drop shadow effect in InDesign: a step by step instruction, a plugin, etc?
    Regards,

    Kasyan,
    I generally just use the basic feather. I draw the object with a few clicks of the pen, fill with whatever color, set the tint if desired, then use settings more or less as below.

  • Drop Shadow Effect Cannot Be Seen

    I'm using CS4 for Windows and I own several great books for it, yet I'm still struggling completing a simple drop shadow effect on a photo. No matter what I try from using the simple drop shadow fx or complex suggestions building several different layers, I never see the final effect on the photo. I even click and unclick "preview" but it makes no difference. The photo displayed in my CS4 window continues to look just like the photo when I first opened it. Am I supposed to flatten the layers or somehow bring them together into one layer?
    I'm stumped.
    I'd appreciate any help. I'm sure I'm doing something completely ignorant, but I'm willing to make myself look a fool to finally resolve this.
    Again, thanks.
    Regards,
    Bob

    The drop shadow appears on the transparent side of the opaque/transparency interface. You can't get a drop shadow on a totally opaque layer because there's no such interface. If you're working on the background, convert it to a layer or duplicate it and work on the duplicate. Select the object which is to cast the shadow and put it on its own layer (CTRL J). The area outside the selection will be transparent. Highlight that layer, double-click to the right of its name on the layers palette to bring up the layer effects dialog box. Select the drop shadow effect, and tweak the settings including opacity to define the shadow. While the dialog box is still open you can drag the shadow to any position. Once you close the dialog box, the object and shadow move together.

  • 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.
