How to add a drop shadow on this flattened PNG image?

First timer here -
When I mask the blue globe wireframe where I want the shadow, the Property Inspector no longer allows me to add the effect.
Is there a workaround or a different way to select the globe, or to make the globe its own layer and apply the effect?
Many thanks

Hello Ken,  I'm not sure I can help you as I'm not sure what a 'blue globe wireframe' is exactly.  However, you've described it as a flattened .png.
So are you attempting to add a drop shadow to an asset .png file within your Fireworks working file?
Nb.  It is unusual to flatten a .png file, because .png files are used for transparency and flattening should remove that quality.  I use CS4 Fireworks and a PC, and I have attempted both a flattened .png and a normal one.  These image files were imported into the document, onto a particular page and then their own layer.  Additionally, I right clicked the none flattened .png and was still able to add a drop shadow.
Make sure you have done your housekeeping and know that the asset you are attempting to add a Drop Shadow to, is highlighted on the layers panel and that you are on the correct page. Also, ensure that the layout view is in Iconic Mode [top right]:  which means all panels go to icon and the Properties Panel is in full view.
For PC, highlight asset, go to Properties, click the tiny arrow key next to the + sign, find filter.  If this doesn't work for you. Then give more info about how you created the asset,what operating system you use and which version of Firefox.  Hope this helps.  Sometimes all the Adobe programmes can sort of get stuck.  So just close doc and open again, and hopefully, should clear up the bugs.  Best wishes

  • How to add a drop-down menu to a rollover image?

    Hi,
    I guess my title says it all... I was wondering how to add a drop-down menu to a rollover image? I know that there's the sprymenu, but I need to have my own rollover images.
    Thanks,
    Kazem

    Frankly, ANY link can offer a drop down.
    Take a look at this turorial.
    That will get you your dropdown menu. So you have that.
    Now, on your top menu (or any level where you want to have an image instead of text do this:
    (I am copying the HTML structure in the tutorial here):
    <nav>
              <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Tutorials</a>
                                  <ul>
                                            <li><a href="#">Photoshop</a></li>
                                            <li><a href="#">Illustrator</a></li>
                                            <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li>
                                  </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Articles</a>
                                  <ul>
                                            <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li>
                                            <li><a href="#">User Experience</a></li>
                                  </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Inspiration</a></li>
              </ul>
    </nav>
    Now, let's pretend you want an image instead of the word "Articles." You'll want the image to be sized appropriately, and if you look at the CSS, you'll see it's 112 pixels wide by 52 high. If your image is approximately those dimensions, you're all set.
    So instead of "articles" you insert your image.
    Done.

  • How to add more drop zones or movies in an idvd menu

    I was building a dvd in idvd and ran out of drop zones to fill but I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones.
    I tried different templates but I could find none that had more than 12 drop zones.
    Then I was adding movies to the main menu and idvd refused to allow more movies added when I reached 10 movies. It said that the template did not accept more movies.
    I tried a few other templates and could not get it to accept more.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    Is there some way to add more than the default drop zones in an idvd template and to add more movies in a menu without having to use submenus?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones
    Sorry, the templates 'are what they are'.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    You need to figure out how to work with what is available.
    If you want more freedom, buy Apple's Final Cut Studio and learn to use DVD Studio Pro.

  • How can I create drop shadows with PSE10

    How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?

    Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
    Three different layer styles applied to text 
    The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
    Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
    When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
    Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
    Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
    Drop Shadow
    Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
    Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
    Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
    Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
    Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke.

  • How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

    How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

    Hello,
    You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Photo Creations v3.7's Cards: How to remove the dropped shadow boxes for photos?

    Hello.
    In Cards' mode when adding photos, I get shadow drop boxes. How do I remove these shadow drop boxes around my photos?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Antdude.
    There are several ways to remove the default "drop shadow" from a photo on your layout. The quickest is:
    Select the Design Tools
    Select the Photo Borders Tab
    Select the photo
    Click the first border preset (see screenshot below)
    That preset applies the plain border style to the photo, removing any other border treatments as well. To remove just the shadow, open the Advanced Controls at the very bottom of the page, scroll down, and then click the No Shadow button.
    These techniques work on graphics too.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I get drop shadows to work correctly when using HTML5 to publish?

    When publishing this course in HTML 5, drop shadows applied to smart shapes go a little haywire. What settings can I update on these objects to make them appear correctly?  Thanks for your help!
    Object settings:
    White solid fill, opactiy 100%
    1pt stroke
    Standard publish to web broswer:
    Publishing in HTML5:

    Looks like the shadow is being applied to the outline. Smart shapes are drawn with canvas in HTML5 so you'd need to hackinto the code to try and fix it. You could try an outline with no fill on top of the shape with the text, white background, no outline and apply the shadow to that smart shape. Group the objects for convenience.

    I assume you could

  • How do I reset drop shadows to default setting, pse6?

    Drop shadows have disappeared except for 'neon'; how do I get the default setting back?

    Appearance settings have nothing to do with the program preferences. You simply reset them on the appearance panel or the relevant sub-dialogs of whatever effects you are using.

  • 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 to add my drop down menu to my website

    I have been following a dreamweaver video to create a drop down menu with pure css which has turned out great.  My problem is when you follow a video I followed the instructions and started a new html and then attached the css styles to the new html called "dropdownmenu".  But as I don't know how to put it in my index page.  I understand that css is the rules but how to I get it in my website.  Most prob an easy one for all you experts out there!
    I hope someone will help me please.
    Thanks Karen
    Oh im useing cs5.5

    Thank you very much for taking you time to answer me.  I have managed to do this but I get a bit confused with the files so I hope you can just help on this one!
    I went to duplicate the dropdown.css file and put it in my css folder but the file was already there, also a link was in the css file altough it did not have "media=screen".  I duplicated the dropdown.css and put it in my dropdown.html, not sure if that is right.  This is how I have set out my files.                                                           Folder - dropdown
                                                                                                               -navMenu.html
                                                                                                               -dropdown.css
                                                                                       Folder - css
                                                                                                              - dropdown.css
                                                                                                              -styles.css
    My index page link between the "head" is <link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ----so am I right in saying that the styles.css is determing the index page at mo and any future pages if I want.  
    And the link from the navMenu.html is <link href="../css/dropdown.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />------and this is getting the information from the dropdown css.
    If I am correct do I need both copies of the dropdown.css?  I hope this is nice and clear for you!
    Once again thank you very much for your help.... it is very much appreciated!  I spend most of my time learning from youtube and don't really like to bother people but after an hour of scratching my head I gave up!
