Actually, it�s better if you enlarge the canvas before, because this way you can see what�s going on. The sequence, as I see it, is: 1-Double-click the background to turn it into a layer; 2-Increase the canvas size to a good size; 3-Layer>Layer Style>Drop Shadow, and the effect will appear. You can add, before this 3rd step, another layer below the one that you want shadowed, and fill it with white. Regards, Rodolpho Pajuaba www.pajuaba.com.br
Create a copy layer of the image, delete the original, go to layer style and add a drop shadow to the copy layer, then THEN enlarge the canvas size by the required amount. That way, you're adding the drop shadow to the dimensions of the image in the same way as you would to text etc. Cheers guys, I'm off to open some wine!
