How to achieve this specific drop shadow effect?

Dear all,
Does anybody know how to achieve this specific drop shadow effect in InDesign: a step by step instruction, a plugin, etc?
Regards,
Kasyan

Kasyan,
I generally just use the basic feather. I draw the object with a few clicks of the pen, fill with whatever color, set the tint if desired, then use settings more or less as below.

  • 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 to achieve this specific look

    Hi there
    I recently made some shots, most of them in a forest.
    And for my grading I want to achieve a look that's similar to this here:
    https://creativemarket.com/TomAnders/10798-iPad-iPhone-Mock-ups/screenshots/#screenshot5
    And here is a Screenshot of my RAW-Footage.
    What would you say are the most important things to do?
    Orange colors up, Contrast a little up? etc..
    Would be very pleased to get some answers. Thanks a lot.
    Cheers

    It looks like a really dirty lens or shooting through a sumdged piece of glass.
    Maybe you could create some semi-transparent mattes (like smoke filmed over a black background?) and layer them over the image. The layer is usually just white, but sometimes it gets colored.

  • How to place multiple images in batch with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds at the same position?

    I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
    I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

    If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
    • set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
    • change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
    • convert it to a Smart Object
    • add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
    • place the background image (File > Place …)
    • move it behind the image layer
    • Image > Reveal All
    • make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
    • select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
    This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
    For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
    Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

  • How to achieve this Effect?

    Hey everyone i was wondering if you guys had any idea how to achieve this effect in flash.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QftcJtvLr8g

    While you could probably do this in Flash, it is much more simply done using AfterEffects. There's a splendid text tool that can be tortured into effects like this. Have a look at the podcasts from Creative Cow on AfterEffects for some interesting examples.

  • Particle effect -how to achieve this kind of effect exactly

    Hello   please help me to achieve this type of flickering particle effect.  how to achieve this in After effect  which is shown at 0.8 sec to 0.11  in the attached link video. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-video-2682258-hearts.php

    I can't give you the exact settings but you could use Trapcode Particular with a custom particle or CC Particle world. Just turn gravity to 0 and set up a custom particle.
    Your particle layer will be behind the spinning hearts layer. This should get you going in the right direction.

  • 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.

  • Drop shadow effect--I can't get it to stop!

    So I have successfully used the drop shadow effect in PSE 6.
    But I can't figure out how to disengage this effect.  I started using the clone stamp tool after I was done with drop shadow, and now all of my clone stamps have drop shadows!
    I don't want no more drop shadow.  How do I get it to stop?  I've looked and looked and don't see anything obvious.  Thanks.

    Thanks!  That worked.
    But there must some way to disengage those effects after you're finished using them.
    They usually don't hang around.  I'm glad resetting the tool solved the issue.

  • Does anyone know how to achieve this in Photoshop? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hello,
    I'm relatively new to Photoshop so if you know how to do this, please explain by telling me where I click. E.g. File>Open
    Does anyone know how I would achieve this exact effect in Photoshop in the image above (without the circular logo)? The 2 light blue type of effects, one at the top of the image, the one at the bottom of the image. I don't know how to achieve this effect, please show me if you know how. I'm using Photoshop CS5.
    I have looked through hundreds of tutorials, none provide me any clue as to how this is achieved.
    Or does anyone know a tutorial on how this effect is achieved?
    Thank you for your help.

    Yes, it would have been faster and more constructive to point out exactly where to find information rather than scold you.
    Check out the Option bar that one gets under the Menu bar. If it is not showing, go to windows>Options.
    More info: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/tools.html#using_the_options_bar
    If you select the brush tool, you will notice a flow value, that you can lower; and a Mode drop down list.
    paint tool options: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/painting-tools.html#paint_tool_options
    Set the mode to Linear Dodge, then for the next stroke set it to lighten.

  • 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
    Shub

  • SDK:  Changing drop shadow effect properties

    I have a text object that I've done Effect->Stylize->Drop Shadow... on.
    Using the COM SDK for Illustrator CS6, as an Illustrator.TextFrame object, how can I access the properties of this drop shadow effect?

    Hello again
    Ahhh, okay. Gotcha!
    The thing is, there is no drop shadow effect to configure. If there is such an effect, it's something that is simply part of the Text Animation that has been selected.
    I think the icon is a bit misleading and is simply intended convey it's not just regular text. I don't believe the intent was to convey there is a drop-shadow associated with a Text Animation. There isn't. At least not without it having been programmed as part of the animation.
    Does this help you answer the question? Are you actually seeing there is a drop-shadow effect during playback that you don't like or want? If so, you will likely need to choose a different Text Animation.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to achieve this goal?

    Hi. I develop web page in JSP, so it uses Java language.
    Could you please advice me how to achieve one specific feature as follows.
    There shall be a horizontal bar, when bar consist of small windows showing data retrieved from data-base. You can move those windows by pressing a button at the end of horizontal bar. You move them back or forward when each time it shows new windows with contents retrieved from data-base. When you press on any window, you get a bigger window with even more information retrieved from data-base.
    Any suggestions are welcome!! I do not expect code from you, just guidelines. Let's say, pseudo-code.

    Here's some more advice. Your JSP generates HTML. (You knew that, right?) And therefore your question is about how to write HTML to make those scroll-bar things. Now it might be helpful to use CSS as well, but basically your question is about HTML and CSS.I thought there would be some JS thrown in there to achieve the sideways scrolling effect. But yes, you have struck upon a good point that many developers of JSP do not seem to understand. To the end client it is just HTML, CSS & JS.Yes, I see the same kind of questions about XSLT all the time too. "I used XSLT to generate this HTML, and it has some Javascript which doesn't work, what's wrong with my XSLT?"
    To which the answer is always: (1) Figure out what Javascript you want to generate, (2) write XSLT to generate it. Usually the questioner hasn't finished with (1) yet.

  • Transparency - Drop Shadow Effect

    I'm operating Photoshop 7.0.1 on Windows XT.
    I can't seem to figure out how to preserve the transparency in a picture when I add a drop shadow effect.
    1. Increased the canvas size to allow for the drop shadow
    2. Selected and cut the extended canvas area (to be transparent)
    3. Selected the image and created a new layer
    4. Added the drop shadow effect to the image layer
    5. At this point the image appears to have a drop shadow on a transparent canvas; but that is not the case.
    I'll be placing the graphic in Pagemaker. Any tips would be appreciated!
    Deb

    In order for Pagemaker 7 to simulate transparency, you need to save
    your image in Photoshop with a clipping path.
    This means that you need to select the part of the image you want to see using the selection or pen tools, and then define the selection
    as a clipping path.
    Assuming you have an image ready to be saved for Pagemaker, try the
    following procedure.
    Select the part of the image you want to see in Pagemaker.
    Open the Paths pallet and select "Make Work Path" from the pallet menu.
    Open the Paths menu again and this time select "Save Path".
    Go to the Paths menu again and this time select "Clipping Path" from the pallet menu. When asked, select the name of the Path you had previously saved.
    Save the image as a Tiff file.
    Now when you place the image on a coloured or textured background in
    Pagemaker, it should only display the part of the image you selected in Photoshop. The clipping path you created in Photoshop will hide the unwanted background of the image.
    Hope this helps
