Drop Shadow On Left Side

When you apply a drop shadow to an object, such as a rectangle, it always on the right side.  Is there a way to put the shadow on the left side?

Hello Gary,
You can change the side of the drop shadow to a rectangle/object by changing the angle of the shadow.
Please follow the steps below :
- Select the rectangle.
- Click on Effects>Shadow.
- Now increase the value of Angle from 45 to 135 (or something else according to the requirement).
This changes the angle of the shadow and changes the side where dropdown shadow effect is applied.
Please have a look at the screenshot :
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

  • Drop Shadow on Two Sides

    Hello All,
    Is there a way to have a drop shadow on 2 sides of an object?  I want it to look like this:
    I have been using two objects with the shadow on 1 side and then putting them on top of each other.  Would like to do it with 1 object.  Can it be done?

    I never done a 2-sided shadow before. Interesting.
    I usually just set the angle and distance to zero, then increase the blur. You effectly end up with a dark outer glow, or a shadow all the way around. Tried uploading a screen capture, but had no luck. Easy enough to try though.

  • PSE4: Creating Patterns; Using Drop Shadow

    Hello:
    1. I been making a few patterns using the Define Pattern from selection. The problem is, I'm getting hard edges and not a smooth flow pattern when I apply it. What is the trick in getting to make patterns that flow smoothly?
    2. I been using the Layer Styles Drop Shadow. It only seems to drop shadow bottom left. Is there a way to have the drop shadow in other directions?

    Thank You Wendy and Terri for the information. It's what I was after and more. Found something new again that I wasnt aware of. Ctrl+I and matching the size of the mask photo to the main photo and centering it as well. Really a ton of other info as well that will take some time to digest.
    Again Thanks-A-Bunch!
    Hmmm, hope I can ask one more question. Is there a way to clear the "Open Recently Edit File" list? I can set it to show "zero", but that just hides the listing. When I enter 5 again, they show up again. I like to keep a listing of 5, but also like to clear it and have it start over again.

  • Left side drop shadow

    I have a background rectangle at 1278 x 1000 px.  I have my page at 1074x 1000 pixels.  I have a drop shadow effect on the right side of the page.  I want the same drop shadow effect on the left hand side of the rectangle that is my 1074 web page.  It gives it a nice 3D effect.  How would I get it on the left since I selected the rectangle and the drop shadow only works on the right side and bottom I guess.  I can't see the bottome since it is off the art board.   I don't want it on the bottom edge anyway.  Only the left and right sides.  In the drop shadow panel I only see the x & y access and shades selections?
    thanks,

    Just add another instance of the Drop Shadow Effect from the effects menu. Left and right are controlled by the X offset (positive to the right, negative to the left); up and down by the Y offset (positive down, negative up) either can be 0.

  • This is my first use of this program. How do I remove a page break? How do line up my drop down box along side the text box on the left of it? The drop down is for a multiple choice answer for the question to the left.

  • Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up.  Currently I'm looking to delete apps.  They no longer appear on left side of itunes screen.  I try to click on apps on top of screen but apps are in a shadow mode and I can't click on them.

    Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up and many do not now work.  Currently my problem is I want to delete some apps.  It no longer shows on the left side of itunes.  When I click on apps at the top, the apps appear shadowed and i cannot click on them.  If I check the box to sync them it says I will lose what's on my ipod and the things in my library will replace them.  What should I do?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

  • Pie chart drop shadows not printing properly.. cuts off right hand side of pie chart...???

    Every time I go to print a pie chart that has a drop shadow applied to it, it cuts off the right hand side of the chart along with the shadow itself.  It looks HORRIBLE!!!  I went through and created a bunch of reports using that method, and now ALL of them have this problem.  It makes ZERO sense to me, and it appears that nobody else is experiencing this.  Does anybody have any ideas?

    It may be a good idea to read :

  • Drag and Drop feature in start menu between right side and left side

    Hello , I think it is a good idea to allow the user to drag items and apps from the left side of start menu and drop them in the right side, and vice versa. Such feature make life easier than clicking right button and choose unpin or pin to start.

    If you want your idea/opinion heard, please use the Feedback app.
    Posting at the forums won't get their attention, I don't think.

  • Masking unwanted sides to drop shadow effect (AI CS2 Mac)

    I've got a problem with drop shadows in CS2 (Mac). Can anyone help? I've applied an offset of zero and a blur of 1mm which works fine but the object is at the corner of the artboard and the shadow spills over onto the pasteboard and leaves a fine line showing when imported into InDesign (at the edge of the graphics frame).
    Can you tell me how I can loose the shadow on the two sides I don't want it? I've tried creating a clipping mask behind to paste it into but I loose the solid area of the object (with the shadow) that I'm pasting in to the mask.
    Many thanks,
    Bob

    I don't see a problem. A clipping mask should work, but perhaps I might not be following the description in your second paragraph correctly.
    Could you clarify, preferably by providing a screenshot that illustrates what you get and what you want to achieve?

  • Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5

    I have a series of curriculum books that make use of two different page styles controlled by two masters. On occasion in the books, the two masters appear side by side in a spread. Both masters contain similar background graphics but one has more side margin than the other.  In the instance where the side margin appears on the left hand page, the drop shadow from a background element on the full page master appears on the bigger margin page. The actual object that has the shadow is not there, but the shadow is. This only happens when the margin is on the left; the shadow does not appear when the masters are side by side in a spread and the wide margin is on the right.  See attached image.
    I can split the pages apart and the shadow goes away, but this gets to be a pain when text reflows and I have to change the pages around.  Any idea how I can keep this ghosted effect from appearing where it isn't supposed to be?
    I'm on CS5 on an Intel Mac running Leopard.
    Thanks.

    Lots of cross posting...
    Check the position of the edge of the cropped frame. I had a problem when it wasn't dead on the spine and the frame had the shadow applied...
    Further investigation pasting the shadowed frame into another and cropping that reproduces your error, but good news, I think. If you select the cropped frame and pick a proxy point that is supposed to be on the spine, then subtract an infinitesimal amount, like .0001 from the x coordinate to move it left, or add the same if you need to move the right half right, ID will round the result back to the original dimension, but the ghost will disappear.
    At least it seems to work for me on two-page lettersize spreads working with rulers in inches.
    I think this is a bug, and I think we've discussed it before and I stumbled on the same solution last time.

  • Strange InDesign Drop Shadow

    Hi,
    I've added a drop shadow to a vector object in InDesign (as you'll see in the attached) but there is this strange thing occurring on the bottom side of it where it's giving  extra drop shadow to on the bottom left half as opposed to running to the full length of the bottom and looking seamless. I've tried playing with the settings but nothing fixes it while still keeping other elements of that drop shadow I like. How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Check to be sure there isn't another object behind that one (perhaps the frame for the Mac image extends over that far?), and check the settings with the image selected.
    Also check Overprint Preview to be sure this isn't some sort of display anomaly

  • How can I display all bookmarks on left side of window without opening library?

    I usually have a bookmarks view (NOT the toolbar) open in the left side of the Firefox window. It shows all my bookmarks, much as the library view does, but not in a separate window. After Firefox crashed, I restarted a "new session" and the bookmarks were not visible. The help files only talk about the bookmarks toolbar, not what I'm looking for.

    You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)<br />
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks and the history in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />
