How to eliminate a gradient drop shadow from a film border file

I have a Hasselblad-style square film border file that I got in an after-market PS action. It looks pretty convincing, except that it has a gradient extending a little ways into the frame that makes it look like a frame sitting above the image with a drop shadow. There are two layers in the file, so I think there may be a wat to get rid of the unwanted gradient. But I can't seem to figure out what it might be.
I sure with I could post the file here, but whatever I try to do to make files permissable to post on this forum never seems to work. The original PSD is only 2.6 MB. I tried sizing it down to 450p x 450p to no avail. The error message said "this type of content is not allowed." It is only an empty black film border.
Anyway, if someone is willing to look at the file offline, please let me know. I am not a graphics person, just a photographer. I would love to get rid of the gradient on this file. Thanks in advance.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a source for clean, realistic black film borders in digital file format, please let me know.

Maybe just posting a screenshot showing the border and layers panel will suffice.
Use the png or jpeg format for the screenshot.

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.

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.

Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5

I have a series of curriculum books that make use of two different page styles controlled by two masters. On occasion in the books, the two masters appear side by side in a spread. Both masters contain similar background graphics but one has more side margin than the other. In the instance where the side margin appears on the left hand page, the drop shadow from a background element on the full page master appears on the bigger margin page. The actual object that has the shadow is not there, but the shadow is. This only happens when the margin is on the left; the shadow does not appear when the masters are side by side in a spread and the wide margin is on the right. See attached image.
I can split the pages apart and the shadow goes away, but this gets to be a pain when text reflows and I have to change the pages around. Any idea how I can keep this ghosted effect from appearing where it isn't supposed to be?
I'm on CS5 on an Intel Mac running Leopard.
Thanks.

Lots of cross posting...
Check the position of the edge of the cropped frame. I had a problem when it wasn't dead on the spine and the frame had the shadow applied...
Further investigation pasting the shadowed frame into another and cropping that reproduces your error, but good news, I think. If you select the cropped frame and pick a proxy point that is supposed to be on the spine, then subtract an infinitesimal amount, like .0001 from the x coordinate to move it left, or add the same if you need to move the right half right, ID will round the result back to the original dimension, but the ghost will disappear.
At least it seems to work for me on two-page lettersize spreads working with rulers in inches.
I think this is a bug, and I think we've discussed it before and I stumbled on the same solution last time.

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 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.

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?

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.

Remove drop shadow from "window" screen shot

Is there some code I can input in the terminal window to remove the drop shadow from a screen picture of a window (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar)?
I know I can use ⌘-Shift-4 and use the cross hairs and that gives me a picture with a clean edge (no drop shadow), but I have dozens of screen pictures to take of a website in safari and I need every shot to be the same size; the (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar) mode guarantees every pic will be the same.

Download the free utility [TinkerTool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html], and click the General tab.
At least in my Snow Leopard system, there is a checkbox there for "Include shadow when capturing window." If you also see this, uncheck the box and then log out and log back in.

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 import gradient map settings from one computer to another?

Quick Question,
How do I import my gradient map settings from CS3 on my old I mac into my new Mac that uses CS6? Is there a folder somewhere that I can just copy and paste?
Thanks,
Mike

1
Start Adobe Photoshop CS3 and open an image from your files to which you want to apply a gradient map.
2
Select the "Image" menu, point to "Adjustments" and click on "Gradient Map" to open the "Gradient Map" dialog box.
3
Choose the gradient you want to use for the gradient map by clicking on the "Gradient Picker" drop-down box. Click on the gradient preset you want to use for the gradient mapping. You will see that in the background the gradient has been applied to your open image.
4
Click on the gradient fill that you have chosen to open the "Gradient Editor" if you want to edit the gradient preset. Make any changes in this dialog box and click the "OK" button to close the box and return to your gradient map.
5
Set any final options to apply to your gradient map. Check "Dither" under "Gradient Options" to add noise to smooth the bands of your gradient and/or "Reverse" to switch the direction of the gradient map.
6
Use the "OK" button to close the "Gradient Map" dialog box and return your image to which the gradient map is now applied.
Is that what you were asking?
Hope it helps.

How is this type of drop shadow achieved in Illustrator?

This drop shadow was made in another program. I want to know how to achieve it in Illustrator.
I also want the grey area to be solid shapes. Not a blend.
Any insight is much appreciated.

You are referring to it as a drop shadow when it is is actually type represented as a dimensional form.
So it either has to be faked or you have to give it a very slight aampount of rotation either horizontally or verticlly or both.
Or a perspective
