Drop shadows absent from preview in IE 9

I just installed version 4.0 and previewed my entire site in IE 9 after the Muse file was converted. All of the drop shadows on images have vanished from the preview in IE 9. They are present when I view the site in Muse. I've tried choosing None in the Graphic Styles panel, then re-selecting my standard drop shadow. The drop shadow reappears in Muse, as expected, but is still absent from the preview of the page in IE 9. Anyone found a solution?

HI Dave,
Thanks for your informative email. I just tried adding a 1 pixel 50-percent gray stroke (which I assume is what you mean by border) to an image on my site that also has my standard drop shadow. The drop shadow still doesn't appear in the preview in IE 10 (I just upgraded from IE 9). It doesn't matter if I align the stroke inside or outside. The fill of the image frame was still set to transparent. I also tried changing the fill of the image frame to white, but the drop shadow still didn't export. (It's certainly true I can add the drop shadow manually, not using a graphic style, and have it appear in the preview.) So it appears that the workaround you suggest for using a graphic style isn't working on my system, at least not in IE 10.
Here's a broader and more important question: once the bug in Muse 4.0 has been fixed, will it be safe to use drop shadows on my images, or will IE 8 and earlier fail to display the images properly because the drop shadow will "bleed through" the foreground image, which should be opaque? If I have to choose, I would rather delete the drop shadow and have the images display properly in a wider variety of browsers, than use the drop shadow but risk having IE 8 and earlier users be unable to view the images properly. Will the newest version of Muse (once the bug is fixed) display drop shadows correctly in IE 9 and later, and not attempt to display them in IE 8 and earlier? Does the exported Muse file query the user's computer to see which browser is being used and adjust the display accordingly?

Help Recreating Drop Shadow Effect from Clipping Mask

A few months ago I created the image attached. Today for the life of me I cannot create a similar effect, where the drop shadow of the text comes from the clipping mask. Everytime I try to follow the same steps and layer styles I keep getting a normal black drop shadow not a drop shadow that comes from the clipping mask like in my example. Help please I am driving myself crazy!!!

Thanks JJMack and PCTGraphic !
PCTGraphic converting the text layer to a smart object is what I seemed to be missing (and what I believe I did in the attached picture as well). Thanks for the reminder!
JJMack I really appreciate your answer as well (there's always more than way of doing things), but I know I didn't use a vector mask originally. Unfortunately, I do not know how to add text to a vector mask. I would like to learn how to do it your way, I will work on that (the screen shot will help, thank you)!

Drop shadow on mattes and fills

Hi folks
I have just composited a matte and a fill graphic over a commecial using the composite mode travel matte - luma, now I need to put a drop shadow on to that comp...but alas drop shadow does not work in the motion tab on either the alpha or fill , nor does a drop shadow effect from the effects tabs...
any ideas ?
tx in advance
peace in africa...

This is really a question for the Final Cut Pro forum as you are talking about Final Cut Pro functionality.
The reason you can't see a drop shadow is because you are using a pre-existing alpha clip (a clip of white and black that serves as your transparency information). The travel matte luma effect can only use the video information in the alpha clip to determine the transparency. The alpha clip is a full-frame clip so any drop shadow applied will appear outside the frame.
The best thing to do is to recreate your fill graphic in its original application, and export it with an embedded alpha channel. Then you won't need to have an alpha clip or use the travel matte-luma to composite. FCP can read embedded alpha channels so you would just place your graphic over your video, render and be done with it. Then you can add drop shadows to your heart's delight.

Drop Shadows to Normal

Does anyone have a good solution to change Many drop shadows (Effects) from Multiply to Normal? I have been doing them individually, but would love to be able to select thema ll at once

You can do this in CS4 easily: Select one of the objects with the drop shadow; Select>Same>Appearance Attribute (will select all objects with drop shadow applied); highlight Drop Shadow in Appearance panel; change blend mode.
Don't know an easy way in previous versions.

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.

Compund path or white text ona red background with a drop shadow

I have had business cards printed before with white text on a red background & the white wasn't 'punched out' (compound path) of the red so the white didn't print - the solution I was given was to create a compund path in illustrator before saving the PDF to punch the white out of the red & that worked fine ...
I now have dilema in that we want to get some flyers printed that have red starburst with white text over them but they also have a drop shadow behind the red star burst so if I punch the white text out of the startburst the drop shadow then appears through the starburst & the text is no longer white it is the drop shadow gradient from the background - i do not know how to get around this???

As long as your white text isn't set to overprint, you should be fine. Just place your text in front of your starburst and look at your attributes panel to make sure that overprint fill and overprint stroke are not checked.
I'll bet if you go back and look at the file that gave you trouble in the past, overprint fill is checked.

How can i replicate this images drop shadow exactly

How can i replicate this images drop shadow exactly from scratch
http://i52.tinypic.com/2u41t7n.jpg
If this sort of thing is not covered on this forum please direct me to an off site forum that would help me with this graphics question

Trial and error, putting both the reference image and your new experimental image up side by side, is the only way I know. I'd probably use the Info panel as well, to see that I'm getting the same or very similar color numbers from the new drop shadow.
You can probably use the Magic Wand set to a very low tolerance value to select and copy the light colored object, then make a new document with a white background, paste in the copied object, then start experimenting with drop shadow. Alternatively you could just redraw a portion of it.

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.

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.

How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

As far as I know, you must use brute force in the index.xml file describing the document.
Search the descriptor of your values labels
It starts with : <sf:SFCBarSeriesValueParagraphStyleProperty>
and delete the three items describing the shadow.
I highlighted it with red.

Remove drop shadow from "window" screen shot

Is there some code I can input in the terminal window to remove the drop shadow from a screen picture of a window (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar)?
I know I can use ⌘-Shift-4 and use the cross hairs and that gives me a picture with a clean edge (no drop shadow), but I have dozens of screen pictures to take of a website in safari and I need every shot to be the same size; the (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar) mode guarantees every pic will be the same.

Download the free utility [TinkerTool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html], and click the General tab.
At least in my Snow Leopard system, there is a checkbox there for "Include shadow when capturing window." If you also see this, uncheck the box and then log out and log back in.

How to eliminate a gradient drop shadow from a film border file

I have a Hasselblad-style square film border file that I got in an after-market PS action. It looks pretty convincing, except that it has a gradient extending a little ways into the frame that makes it look like a frame sitting above the image with a drop shadow. There are two layers in the file, so I think there may be a wat to get rid of the unwanted gradient. But I can't seem to figure out what it might be.
I sure with I could post the file here, but whatever I try to do to make files permissable to post on this forum never seems to work. The original PSD is only 2.6 MB. I tried sizing it down to 450p x 450p to no avail. The error message said "this type of content is not allowed." It is only an empty black film border.
Anyway, if someone is willing to look at the file offline, please let me know. I am not a graphics person, just a photographer. I would love to get rid of the gradient on this file. Thanks in advance.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a source for clean, realistic black film borders in digital file format, please let me know.

Maybe just posting a screenshot showing the border and layers panel will suffice.
Use the png or jpeg format for the screenshot.

Can't drag and drop from Preview into Powerpoint

I'm having an odd problem, in that I cannot drag a thumbnail in Preview into Powerpoint. I used to be able to do this in Leopard, wherein I could drag the thumbnail from Preview to Powerpoint (I have 2008) and it would place the picture on the slide, but in Lion and Mountain Lion, it only posts the file path as text. Something similar happens when I try to copy and paste the thumbnail, though it's a different filepath, presumably to the clipboard. I can successfully drag the thumbnail to the desktop, where it copies the file, and then drag that file onto Powerpoint, where the picture then appears.
I suppose my questions are twofold: Is this the normal and expected behavior? And is it possible to revert to the old behavior, under Leopard?

I might be wrong, but ...
I know Microsoft Office 2011 is Mountain Lion compatible. In fact, Microsoft released updates to it right around the time of Mountain Lion's release to assure compatibility.
I do not believe Microsoft Office 2008 is Mountain Lion compatible.

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.)
