Drop shadow on a wall perspective

I am trying to figure out how to create the drop shadow of a sphere on a wall.
I am not a beginner on that matter ( well ... I am ready to learn more)
The blue lines represent the sun rays and the sun trace wich is in front and on the right side of the viewer P.
The green sun grid represent the sun position on the azimut moved and vertically aligned to the viewer position P. This to create the trace of the sphere on the wall.
From here I am missing something.
It is your cue. What am I missing?
How do I join files to define my question?

I am working at it.
In perspective 2 . gif
Normally the second set of lines (trace) is build from the real position of the sun (azimuth) dropped on the horisn line.
The real position of the sun gives one set of lines.
The position of the sun displaced on top of the P point gives the other set of lines.
The encounter of the two sets establish dots from wich the shadow is drawed.
It should be the same with a sphere.

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.

Drop shadow in a Symbol?

I'm new to Illustrator and would love to get some help on something I'm working on. I hope the solution is simple enough. I have created a symbol and have added a drop shadow to the symbol. In a separate project, I loaded in the symbol and had to create several instances of the symbol (approx. 100-200). What I've run in to now is my computer has bogged down drastically and I think it has to do with the symbol's drop shadow. I am wondering if there is any way to "flatten" the symbol to simplify it, or if I need to get rid of the drop shadow altogether? It was my understanding that symbols allow you to duplicate complex vector art without having the huge file size. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i don't think symbols improve performance. illustrator still has to render each one and every effect across your whole document. the blur in the drop shadow effect is very taxing - symbol or not. there is a person in my office that drives me up the wall because she throws gaussian blurs in everything, but that's another story.
anyway. you can reduce the document's raster effects settings to 72dpi, if it isn't that already. you could rasterize the effect and that will hep too.
eDIT: i forgot. if your happen to be using illustrator's new rectangle, the one with the round corner options etc. it tends to slow performance down for me a lot. it's best to expand it to a regular path shape.

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 Shadows in Print Module

Hello!
Maybe this is not a feature but should be. I have a grid of 3x3 photos on a 13x19 page. I would like to add a simple soft drop shadow to set the pics off the page a bit. Is that feature there and I can't see it?
If not please add this feature. It's sill being ready to print but have to export a JPG to PS to add a drop shadow.
Also a nice drop shadow to the Identity plate text would be nice. A work around was dropping a tiff from PS of the text with the drop shadow into the Identity plate box. But that is extra work.
Thanks
Max

If you use a transparent image the shadow is around the bounded box, a square or a rectangle. You need to put the shadow in your graphic and save for web.
If you use a shape in AE it will go around the shape. Shapes are limited in Edge.

How to get drop shadow text in windows version of LabVIEW 2009

In the lower left corner of the attached JPG you can see that "Instrument Cluster" has a drop shadow. I created it by accident and would like to use drop-shadow for control names, but I cannot figure out how I did it. The only "Style" options in my Text Properties drop-down menu are Plain, Bold, Italic, Underline, Outline and Strikeout.
The Help file implies that it can be done in MAC OS. I just did it in Windows.
Does anyone know how?
Solved!

Drats! An artifact.
I guess it is floating because I typed it on a boundary?
Thanks for the tip. As Nick Danger would say, "You saved me a lot of investigative work, flatfoot."

Muse: Issue: Text Effects options (Drop Shadow, etc) are always disabled.

Hello,
I am a new Muse user and I have been using the Learn Tutorials here on helpx.adobe.com to teach myself Muse.
I have a strange problem. When following through the "Apply Effects to Text" tutorial at: Adding effects to text | Adobe Muse CC tutorials, the options to add a drop shadow are not enabled. On advice from folks on Twitter, I tried the same using System Fonts, Web Fonts and Web Safe fonts. None of them seem to work.
I am attaching a video capture of the issue.
Please help :-(

That's worse. If I set Stroke to 1 (you can only do that on the Text Frame and not the text itself), then the Text Effects do get enabled. BUT, the effect is applied to the entire text frame instead of just the text. See this:
I want the drop shadow for the text not the frame (like how Photoshop does it).

How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

Hello,
You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
Thanks!

The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

Trying to do .CSS drop shadows

Hi,
I'm trying to get a similar look and feel as this website
Livingsteel.org but can't
seem to crack the drop shadow for the main table/container. It's
the one down that covers the bottom and right side and makes the
site look very tidy.
I'm trying to do everything in .css from now on and any help
with this would be great.
Thanks in advance,
JW.

Well you can certainly do it with a table (and format the
table with CSS).
However to do it with divs, I would have a top div with the
top bar (and
the right corner of the shadow), a main div with the shadow
on the right
in the bakcground, and a bottom bar with the shadow and a bit
of the
bottom white.
Like this:
Course you can simply use divs to create the dropshadows as
you would do
it in a table.
You would more or less have a topleft corner div, a middle
top div, a
topright corner div etc.
The more light way of doing this would be to see if you can
accomplish
the first suggestion by using existing elements (for example
having the
background of the footer and header contain the background
and shadows).
There are a bunch of sites around that explore rounded
corners and
dropshadows with css and divs.

The drop shadow or even the type does not show up on the PDF created from SC3

I've created the legends on charts and the text on path and drop shadows are applied.
when I make a PDF, some text get dropped all together as well as the drop shadows do not show up.
Can someone help to solve this?
The only way is make a jpg. files and then create a separate PDF off the Acrobat.
It works but I would like to save the steps.
Thanks!

Hello markshepherd1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
According to the following article, when you're going through the process of burning a playlist to a disc, you have the option to select "Include CD Text".
If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:
Change the recording speed:
Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Change the amount of silence between songs:
Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
Select Use Sound Check.
Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
Select Include CD Text.

Pages, printing: still problem with drop shadows . Frustrated. :

Hi -
I've spent most of the afternoon trying to get my Pages document to print properly.
I am experiencing the drop-shadow issue :heavy black clump instead of artfully placed& delicate. Printouts do not resemble what is onscreen or in preview etc.
Having read through the forums; the links; the (cruddy) Pages Help and manual; installed new HP offficejet all-in-one software...
I still get the same result.
Most of the threads don't quite fit my situation.
For instance: Several comments have to do with older versions of things. Because I do have Pages 2, I am on Tiger OS X10.4.7 , upgrading is not my problem.
One of the threads had fairly explicit directions to make a new filter in Coloursync which led all the way to a "change resolution" menu but didn't offer advice on what resolution
modification to make. rrrrrrrr..
I am pretty lost at this point and really just want to print out a document that looks like what I have designed.
What? How? Help! Please?

tried to print directly from Pages
If printing directly from Pages does not work then it must be an aspect of your printer. Some printers have a black and white setting that might not read shadows (which are more like greyscale) With the doc opened press ⌘ +p and browse through the options of the printer's pulldown menu and see if there are any settings that might be incorrect. (Check, in particular, your 'color sync' and 'print settings' options in the pull down menu.)

Thin white line around black .ai logo and drop shadow question

Hello,
There's a very thin white line all around a black .ai logo I made when placed on a color background. It shows up in printing and acrobat (PDF % compatibility) too. Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps.
Thanks
Running OS10.4.11 In Design CS3, intel mac.

Is the logo rasterized in Illustrator? It sounds like something was antialiased against a white background.
>Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps
No. EPS does not support transparency. If an area is not fully transparent (because nothing is drawn there) then it is fully opaque. PDF and AI support transparency.

I can't tell if my previous messages came thru, but I need help with PSE 7.0. I can't use my drop shadow brush set anymore.

I am not sure if any of my previous messages went thru or not, but I have Photoshop Elements 7.0. I learned how to open a blank file and use a textbox to make my watermark and also my copyright logo and save them each as a brush. They were saved in the Drop Shadow Brushes. When I used my cloning stamp yesterday, I switched brushes to basic. When I later attempted to go back into the drop shadow brush set where I had saved the watermark and copyright logo, a message came up telling me the file couldnot be opened because it wasnot compatible with this version of Photoshop. I presume it is because of the special brushes saved there. What do I do now?
