Corel Photo-Paint: Objects/Drop ShadowA drop shadow can easily be applied to any object in Photo-Paint
using the dialogue box available from the Objects drop-down menu. The drop shadow is added as another layer/object which can be further edited as any normal object can. Perpective shadows are produced
through the same dialogue box.

To create drop shadows in Photoshop you need to have the subject on a layer. This layer can then be
duplicated, filled with black (or any other colour) and moved down the layer order behind the original subject. To this a guassian blur of around 1 or 2 pixels is applied. Left in its original position
produces a darkening effect to the edges, highlighting the subject, or if moved creates the drop shadow. You can of course reduce the opacity of this shadow to suit. |

for drop shadows and one for perspective shadows Both filters giving quick and easy results to any layer/object. The set will work in both Photoshop and Photo-Paint. |
