Adding a Drop Shadow to Text

This mini-tutorial will show you the quick and easy way to add a drop shadow to text.


Open a new image and add some text. Go back to the Adding Text Mini-tutorial if you don't know how to do this.

Some Text

Add a bevel or whatever effect you want to the text.

To add the shadow, either right click and select "Add Shadow" or click on the "Style" button next to the size of your text and select shadow. This will add a default shadow or the last shadow you applied.

Default Shadow

To adjust your shadow to your liking, select the style box.
