Drop Shadows are dropping out

When I post a drop shadwo effect on text, it is dropping out
/off of the text a split second before the screen transitions to the next slide. Why?
I've checked all timing, triggers, etc.

  • SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

    Hi
    I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
    get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
    idea to what to troubleshoot here.
    Thanks
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
    want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
    Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • Drop shadow not knocking out when creating pdf

    Hi all,
    firstly using ID CS3 and Acrobat 8 on 10.5
    When I use the drop shadow function on text in ID looks great on screen, when I create the pdf file I end up with a big white box around all the text. this is driving me crazy.
    thanks in advance.

    >If this is the case, then convert the colour to process in the swatches panel.
    Unless, of course, it's SUPPOSED to be a spot color. In that case, you will need to make sure that your PDF viewer (e.g., Acrobat) and the printer/RIP/workflow system are set to honor, not ignore overprints.

  • Does Illustrator free trial turn off effects function? Wanted to check out drop shadow.

    Downloaded a free trial of Illustrator for Mac. Wanted to create a sample logo to try it out. Effects functions like drop shadow aren't active (grayed out). Is that normal for the free trial? Thanks!

    I'm doing something very simple, which is why I was surprised that it's not working. I'm creating a 180 x 180 pixel jpeg for Facebook's profile picture of a logo as a way to test out Illustrator. I created a text box, used a font called Zoinks (which is what our company logo uses) and typed out our logo. I was able to change the color of the font, add stroke to it and change it's size. But when I click on Stylize, all the functions to enhance text including Drop Shadow are grayed out. I couldn't find something in Preferences that I needed to turn on or off to unlock the function. So if it's supposedly fully functional, then either I have missed something or the download is faulty. I am leaning toward the the first option.
    Any advice would be most helpful.

  • 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).

  • White box behind transparent images with drop shadow in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10) but not in InDesign CC (v.9)

    Hi all,
    Please can you help? No matter what settings I use in my print options in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10), ALL transparent images with a drop shadow are printing with a white box behind the image. If I remove the drop shadow, all prints fine. I know this is an old issue that happens with ID sometimes but I have been lucky enough to never have had it happen to me before! (All images are regular flattened TIFF images with clipping paths).
    Also, feathered edges are not printing correctly and are sharp instead of feathered.
    When I export the document to IDML and open it up in InDesign CC (v.9) all prints perfectly with no white boxes and feathered edges prints perfectly as well. I have compared all of the print settings (including color management, transparency flattener, etc.) between both versions and they are exactly the same. I am printing to a Xerox color laser printer. Can anyone offer any advice?
    Thank you so much,
    Christine

    Okay...false alarm! It turns out that the issue was with my PRINTER settings (the settings you customize after hitting the “Printer” button at the bottom of the Print dialogue box in ID CC. I thought I had triple checked this but it seems there was one setting I missed earlier…adjusting the print brightness seemed to cause the issue. SO GLAD to know it was not InDesign…20 or so sheets/prints later….and thankful to know what was causing the issue! Thank you so much Steve for helping at any rate:) Much appreciated:)

  • Drop Shadow Turns Bluey/Grey When Flatten Transparency is Applied

    Hello,
    I'm a bit new to Illustrator (using CS2) and using it to create a CD artwork layout. I understand that i need to flatten the transparency and the artwork before generating a PDF to send to the printer.
    When I choose "Flatten transparency" to flatten an a TIF image w/ a drop shadow (DS applied in Illustrator using Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow)... the shadow turns a bluey grey and looks awful. How can I make it stay black like I want it?
    The settings for the drop shadow are:
    Mode: Multiply
    Opacity: 55%
    X Offset: 0.03
    Y Offset: 0.03
    Blur: 0.05
    Color: 60/40/40/100 (rich black for the printing co I am using)
    If anyone can clue me in as to why the color is going mushy, I'd sure apprecaite it.
    Thanks!

    Well, this is preliminary, but here goes.
    First, the bad news: What you're observing is real and repeatable. Transparency is a voodoo area, and it will take a real expert to explain the whys of what's happening. But it
    is happening.
    Take an egdemost polaroid and, via the appearance palette, change the drop shadow so that it has a huge offset, giving you a shadow block distinct from the main image. Pull the object sufficiently off the background so that half of the shadow is in the clear. Now, dial up the flatten transparency dialog and toggle the preview. You'll see that while the portion of the shadow in the no-background area remains unchanged, the portion within your background goes light and bluish. The flattening is clearly "reacting" to your background.
    I thought the same thing as jcates and tried a black-plate-only (0/0/0/100) drop shadow. While the result is a tad different, we still have the basic problem.
    Ugh.
    Next, a question: Who told you transparent objects needed to be flattened before generating a press output PDF?
    One of the advantages of saving out a PDF (rather than
    printing to PDF via Acrobat's Distiller engine) is to preserve transparency, which is supported in the newest PDF versions. I don't want to suggest your printing company might be a tad behind the times, but one option you might consider is leaving the drop shadows as they are. Let the printer deal with transparency issues... which should not be an issue at all if they are up to handling the latest PDF spec. Of course, you will insist on a contract proof before going to press.
    Next thought: For the small amount of shadow showing, there isn't really that much advantage to using a rich black. You might consider going black-plate-only to avoid tinting issues. Again, the contract proof is your friend.
    Final (for now) thought: Do the drop shadows in Photoshop. Make sure there is no background and save as PSD. Place the PSD in Illustrator -- AI will respect the transparency in the PSD image. Yes, this is a PITA when it comes time to adjust the drop shadow. Being an old-timer with this stuff, that is how
    I would execute this design. (We geezers don't trust Illustrator with raster effects.)
    I have to go dinner shopping now to avoid getting into trouble with my wife, but I will look at this some more when I get the chance. In the meantime, let's hope someone else looking at this comes up with an "Aha!" solution.

  • Colored Drop Shadow on a Black Ground in CS5

    I'm wondering if there's any way to create a colored Drop Shadow on a black ground in Illustrator.  I'm using CS5 on a windows box.  The Drop Shadow shows when I hide the black ground (of course) but I cannot, for the life of me, find out how to make it show on top of the ground, even after sendeing the 'ground' to the back.  I've even tried the Black 'ground' on its own layer and have it at the bottom of the layers Palette.
    I would appreciate any help if at all possible.

    The drop shadows are set to Multiply Mode by default, I believe. Multiply doesn't show on black. If you change the mode to Normal you will see a coloured drop shadow. This will be found in the Drop Shadow dialog.

  • Drop shadow affects background colour when printing to PDF

    I have a diagram in AI format with drop shadows against a coloured background. When I print it from Illustrator to PDF, the background colour around the objects with drop shadows is slightly out, leading to a "blocky" effect. Also, some lines that overlap with the drop shadows are thickened.
    I've embedded the diagram in a FrameMaker file and the same problem is evident when I create a PDF from FrameMaker.
    The problem is partially solved by saving a copy of the file as an EPS, and embedding this in the FrameMaker document. The "blocky" effect then goes away, but there are still some overly thick lines.
    Here is what the PDF image looks like:
    Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this problem.

    All the colours in the picture are process colours. I found the page  you refer to earlier, but it didn't seem to apply to my problem. Thanks  anyway.
    I've read around the Web, and it looks as  though the problem is to do with the fact that drop shadows are a raster  effect rather than a vector one. I think this means that the areas  around the drop shadow get rendered in RGB, while the rest of the  diagram is in CMYK.
    Anyhow, as I said, the problem  seems basically to have been that I wasn't using a high enough quality  set of job options for output.
    I inherited these diagrams from a previous colleague, and by selecting "HQ Print with bleed marks" I get them as good as he got them, though as I said the thick lines are still there (as they were in his documents).

  • Drop shadow causing faint rectangles showing in final printed book cover

    Greetings experts!
    Hoping I can get a translation and a nod as to whether I am on the right track. I have taken a two-day beginner's course in InDesign and am getting past the edge of my knowledge on this issue.
    Publishing a 112-page book, perfect bound, with full color cover.
    The printer ran the cover a little darker this time, and some pesky faint rectangles showed up around the book title which is reversed out of a photograph. The title has a drop shadow.
    I found the following reference, but am not sure what the terms mean and what I'm supposed to adjust. Any help much appreciated. See below for article reference.
    Kindest regards,
    spnDesign
    "Clip Complex Regions Ensures that the boundaries between vector artwork and rasterized artwork fall along object paths. This option reduces stitching artifacts that result when part of an object is rasterized while another part of the object remains in vector form. However, selecting this option may result in paths that are too complex for the printer to handle.
    "Stitching, where rasters and vectors meet.
    Note: Some print drivers process raster and vector art differently, sometimes resulting in color stitching. You may be able to minimize stitching problems by disabling some print-driver specific color-management settings. These settings vary with each printer, so see the documentation that came with your printer for details."

    A couple of other things: check your transparency settings, and set them to High Resolution.
    When printing to press, you should always use/send CMYK unless the printer asks you not to. Sending RGB images to press is asking for them to be converted on the fly and you may see color shifts.
    Also, check the level of PDF compatibility you're using when converting to PDF. Converting at 5.0 and later passes transparency into the PDF, but converting at 4.0 causes it to flatten transparent elements, and you may get better results. Drop shadows created in InDesign are transparent elements.
    Finally, if the drop shadows ARE created in InDesign, I've seen a note somewhere that the transparency effect blend mode should not be set to "multiply," even thought that is the logical mode to use. This may have been an issue only at CS2 however.

    I think it depends on whether the component has a HaloBorder
    or not.

  • Getting rid of titles' drop shadows?

    Is there anyway to tell iMovie not to use drop shadows in titles? I can't seem to figure it out. Almost all of the presets use drop shadows. I just want the plain font, "flattened."
    It seems silly that drop shadows are forced when they are not always appropriate.

    Glueslabs,
    There's no way to turn off the drop shadows in iMovie HD.
    You'll find that the drop shadows can greatly improve the legibility of your titles when viewed on a standard definition television.

  • 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.

  • Illustrator CS6 Rasterizes Drop Shadows When Saving Back to CS

    I am working with Illustrator CS6 and when I save a file to an earlier version - CS3 or CS - that has a drop shadow effect, the effect gets rasterized. Drop shadows are not new to this latest version of Illustrator so shouldn't they still be editable when saving to a version above CS?
    Thank you.

    Actually Gaussian Blur was indeed updated in CS6 to be much faster. All drop shadows use Gaussian Blur, as do outer glows and inner glows. If you need live drop shadows and glows in CS5, then apply them in CS5.

  • Modify drop shadow layer style

    In PS5 is it possible to modfy a drop shadow layer style changing it's color and opacity without changing the entire layer?

    bainbru1 wrote:
    Noel - the issue I encountered was that when I double clicked on the active layer and was presented with the default layer style dialog that did not show the color picker option and then selected drop shadow, I did not see the color picker to the right of the blending options.
    As others have pointed out, unless there is some information missing in your problem description, you are observing normal and expected behavior.  To clarify with screenshots what Noel and others have said above:
    When you invoke layer style dialog box by double clicking on the active layer, by default it shows the controls for Blending Options. See the words Blending Options highlighted in blue on the left and the headline Blending Options in the main pane of the dialog box!
    Merely checking the box for drop shadow does NOT make the drop shadow controls appear.  Blending Options is still selected (highlighted in blue) and the controls in the main pane still have the headline Blending Options!!
    To display the controls for Drop Shadow you need to click on the words Drop Shadow.  Then the layer style Drop Shadow has the focus and the Drop Shadow controls are displayed.  You can see this because the words Drop Shadow are now highlighted in blue and the headline over the controls in the main pane says Drop Shadow:
    When you select the FX button at the bottom of the Layers Panel, you select the Layer Style you want at the same time, so the Layer Style you chose already has the focus when the dialog box appears, and the relevent controls are automatically displayed.
