How do I achieve this type of extreme subtle drop shadow using Photoshop?

I cannot for the life of me recreate this effect and it's driving me insane.
http://justpuretaste.com/ - the header logo where it says "Just Pure Taste" as well as the "We are Taste Architects" as well as the "Experts in Food & Beverage" appear to have some sort of drop shadow applied to it.  This was not done using CSS since this is an actual background image.  I would love to know how to create this effect on a consistent basis.
I haved played around with the settings for drop shadow and using opacity: 100, 70, 50, 20, along with distance set to 1, and spread/size set to 0, I still cannot get what I want.
If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.  If no one here can, could you guys please point me in the right direction like another forum or something.  Thank you!

You see, sometimes I see that and other times I don't.  I'm not sure if the text being over a really subtle gradient causes the eyes to see things, kind of like an optical illusion you know?  But it just seems to be a very common design practice, especially the stuff I'm finding over at dribbble.  I've also tried the 1-2 px distance with a 90 degree angle but my stuff never looks the same.  I'm just unsure if I'm not doing something or this is some kind of trade secret that designers use and don't wish to divulge.

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • How can i achieve Outerjoin type of results using Reports Datalink option

    Hi,
    i am developing a Oracle Report. i am using Datalink to maintain parent-child relationship between 2 queries. If no matching value found then i want to return 0 Records. how to achieve this.
    Ex: I have 2 tables like Dept & EMP
    DEPT has 2 rows HR and FINANCE
    I have only one employee in HR and no employee in FINANCE.
    I am using the below datalink properties:
    SQL clause : WHERE
    CONDITION ; =
    PARENT GROUP: DEPT
    PARENT Column : DEPTID
    CHILD QUERY : EMP
    CHILD Column : DEPTID.
    In the report it is showing matching columns without any issues> i want non matching columns also with Zero employess like
    HR     1
    FINANCE 0
    I need OUTER JOIN kind of thing. How can i achieve this. Just i have written one example. I have very complex query to implement this and datalink is absolutely necessry for me. Any help please.

    Following can be checked in order to return column value from child Group to Parent Group at data modal.
    a. create a PlaceHolder column ( say CP_1 and CP_2) at parent Group.
    b. create one Formula column at each Child group ( say cf_1 and cf_2 )
    c. write code at formula to return reg_emp as ( say for cf_1)
    srw.reference(:cp_1);
    :cp_1 := :rep_emp;
    for unreg_emp as
    srw.reference(:cp_2);
    :cp_2 := :unreg_emp;
    .. this way now reg_emp and unreg_emp counts can be made available to parent Group.
    To get a difference and return "Yes" or "No" write formula column at Parent Group ..
    Create a Formula column ( say cf_3) at parent group
    write following
    begin
    if :cp_1 = :cp_2 >0 then
    return 'Yes';
    else
    return 'No';
    end if;
    end;
    Now use this formula as source to show value at layout under Parent Repeating Frame.
    Hope this helps..

  • Suggest an IDEA how we can achieve this

    Hi Folks
       I have the below requirement:
    Can you please anyone give me the idea how we can achieve this.
    Requirement is:
    Some body in the organization (Representative ) will raise the salesorder .
    When the sales order is created and when the creator  pressed the save button,an email with that order details has to be send to that Representative.
    This Representative will have the supervisor and based on the Representative using some ztable we have to fetch the Supervisor ID and based on that id we have to get the supervisor's mail id and the same mail has to be sent to that Supervisor also.
    Similarly one big boss is there for all these process.
    The mail with the similar content has to sent to that big Boss also.
    All these has to be carried out when the creator of the sales order press the Save Button.
    Points are assured for useful and correct answers.
    Regards,
    Sreeram

    Hi Sreeram,
    I would try to archive this by using the workflow. The workflow should start when the sales order is saved. The event "salesorder create" you can used for starting the workflow. The Workflow functionality is good documeted by the SAP standard documetation.
    Best regards
    Dirk

    If you don't have it in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then if it is still in the store then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    I would like the row color to alternate in pairs - for example, two rows of grey then two rows of white.  How do I achieve this format?

    Hi OldRailroadMan,
    Here is one way. Start with a table with no fill (or white).
    Change the fill of the first two rows.
    Select cells in the first four rows.
    Drag the yellow Fill Handle down.
    For some reason this does not work if you select whole rows (by clicking on the row numbers at the left).
    When you are happy with the result, Menu > File > Save As Template.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • When i push the off button, i want my iphone 5 to stay unlocked for 3 or 4 minutes: how do I achieve this please?

    When i push the off button, i want my iphone 5 to stay unlocked for 3 or 4 minutes: how do I achieve this please?

    When you say you want it to stay unlocked, do you mean that you don't want to have to swipe to unlock it if you push the home button in that time, or do you mean you don't want to have to ender your passcode if you turn it back on within that time?
    If you're referring to the passcode lock, Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Requie Passcode. Set the interval you want.
    If you can't change the time before it request the passcode, that's likely because you have an Exchange account set up on the phone and the administrator is enforcing a policy that requires passcode entry immediatly after placing the phone in standby.
