While looking through the Round results, I noticed the border/shadow in this photo and I'm curious how to create a DPC-legal drop shadow as shown in this entry:
(I use Photoshop, if it matters.) Thanks!

| Anyone? Or is it a top-secret "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you" technique? |

My guess is you can't, really, but I think everyone has all but given up on worrying about border issues. Almost anything goes in a border these days.

Yep, you can use the plain old "drop shadow" button as long as its the border.

Where is the plain old "drop shadow" button in Photoshop 7? I checked the documentation, and the only reference to Drop Shadow that I can find is in the "Custom Style" that you apply as a layer effect.
Is this something that was in a previous version of Photoshop or only possible in a DPC-legal way in something like Paint Shop Pro?
Or am I misunderstanding the rules and is using something like the Drop Shadow layer effect "ok" because it applies its effect in the border area (where "anything goes")? |

I know nothing about photoshop as you can obviously tell :-P
Any way to get a drop shadow for the border is fine. Borders are anything goes as far as editing effects, just dont add any other artowrk or text and you'll be fine.

I used a preset Photoshop action to do the frames. |
