  • How do I create a drop shadow that is tight to the letters in Illustrator?

    How do I create a drop shadow on some letters that is tight to the letters but still has a nice soft blur (like PS does) in Illustrartor?

    Guess what? I fixed it. All is well. And I SINCERELY appreciate all your help. You have restored my faith in Adobe products! I could not get any help from their tech support in India. They are clueless about everything and take up an inordinate amount of time wanting to come inside your computer each time to answer the simplest questions. I have been using PS and Illustrator since 1988 and Tech Support for Adobe used to cost $500.a  year and it was well worth every penny. I would pay it and the techs were fantastic. Those people in India are ridiculous. I was considering buying my software outright. Seriously. So thank you very much!

  • How do you create a drop shadow on FONT?

    I see how you create drop shadows on images but it does not seem to work for me when I want to create a drop shadow on my font.  Is there a way to do this using MUSE?  I don't want to have to use Fireworks to create an image of my font with a drop shadow.
    Thanks.

  • How do I create a drop box for photos

    I am looking for a way to have a place on my church's website where anyone can "drop" photos from events. Is this possible? Would it require a special log in? And if so, could it be made on only allow a person access to the drop box?

  • How to create a drop shadow? Can't find filters.

    I'm using Flash CS5 on Macintosh.
    Googling has led me to maybe a dozen tutorials on creating a drop shadow in Flash, so I understand how the procedure is supposed to work. Select the object and then look for "Filters" and apply the "Drop shadow" filter. Simple enough.
    But it seems that you can only apply a filter to an "object." The things I've been trying to create a shadow on are of type "drawing object." Everything else I've tried to create or import has some other name, and none of them have the Filters menu.
    I'm embarrassed to have to ask about something that should be (and according to all the tutorials is) drop-dead simple, but I just don't see any way to create a drop shadow in Flash.
    Can anyone steer me in the direction away from ignorance?

    Okaaay, so I create a "Movie Clip" symbol. Now I have the following:
    Position and Size
    3D Position and View
    Color Effect
    Display
    When I create a button symbol my options are
    Position and Size
    Color Effect
    Display
    Tracking
    I notice that "Display" though listed, tells me it's not supported in  Flash Player 6 and that I have to change my target. Would "Filters"  either be inside Display or hidden because my target is not modern  enough?

  • How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

    The desired workflow is for
    1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
    section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
    portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
    e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
    2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
    completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
    Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
    Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
    and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
    3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
    the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
    Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
    Lieutenant 2;
    4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
    and Battalion Chief 2
    5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
    Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
    Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
    form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

  • How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

    I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

    Hi Chris -
    Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
    First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
    ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
    ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
    ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
    However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
    But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
    Again, thank you!

  • How do I get a drop shadow in Illustrator CS2

    Hi all, I'm using Illustrator CS2 on a Mac. I want the following drop shadow effect (which apparently was created on Corel Draw)
    but I'm getting is this...
    which is a slightly cloudy. I took a darker color, blurred it and placed it on top! I can't place it below the checked background because that is already a cut out placed on this grid...
    Any suggestions?
    Regards
    Shub

    Hi, Thanks you all for the sugestions, I've been trying the stuff you asked me to...my problem is actually something ele. Sorry, It's my fault, I didn't explain myself clearly...if you could please help me out with this...
    I'm actually trying to recreate this world map which was done in Corel on Illustrator. The original looks like this...
    And what I've got is this...
    So he's managed to get this drop shadow for the continents which I'm doing from the top! I'll tell you the what I've done...
    Firstl, it would've been really easy if I could just do a clipping mask of the grid, but since it is a very complicated image, the program (CS2) won't allow me to...!
    So what i've done is get a light blue rectangle on the 1st layer, then the grid on it, then the blue gradient which has the world map hollowed out(using pathfinder). Which was all fine and fairly uncomplicated till I tried to get a shadow for all the continents, then I had to put it on top, and there is no clear outline to the map because of the blur I've given the shadow!!
    Could you help me get this shadow on the same thing or maybe suggest another entirely how I can arrive at the top image in Illustrator? Thanks so much...
    Regards

  • 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 …

  • 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.

  • Drop shadow for images

    I've done this easily in Photoshop CS3 but now I'm trying to teach people with Elements 6 or 7 how to add a drop shadow to their images. The help menu seems to think that I would add it only to text.
    When I follow the procedure with an image open, nothing happens.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Mary Lou

    Mary Lou,
    To add a drop shadow to the entire picture:
    1. Duplicate the picture layer.
    2. Increase the canvas size. The duplicate layer will be on transparent background.
    3. Apply the Drop Shadows Layer Style. To change the default shadow, open the Style Settings and adjust the various settings.
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1bxVVZCr9XHbMWpqGLbFyTNkpdVsma1
    You can also create a drop shadow not using the layer style:
    1. Duplicate the picture layer and increase canvas as above.
    2. Ctrl-click the duplicate layer to select it.
    3. Create a new layer below the duplicate layer and fill with black.
    4. Use the Move tool to position the black layer where you want the shadow to be.
    5. Soften the edges of the black layer using a Gaussian Blur.
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1fUAf62zQNztHfAbEOjTg8DSGaltBl0
    In both methods you can lighten the shadow by reducing the layer's Opacity, or darken the shadow by duplicating the layer.
    Also note that when you use the Drop Shadows Layer Style, when the Style Settings is open you can use the mouse to drag the shadow wherever you want, even totally off the object (unlike with the Shadow Distance slider).

  • HT204053 how do i create an apple id for my 12 yr old?

    how do i create an apple id for my 12 yr old?

    Welcome to the community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
    If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
