The Blend Mode allows you to set the blending mode for your drop shadow text effect. A subtle drop shadow in Photoshop is also one of the best effects to give your design a little pick-me-up. The Drop Shadow Dialog Box is a good place to start for beginners because the settings are pretty basic and will give you an overall feel of how to use the rest of the effects as well.

By changing only the settings of the Photoshop shadow effect, you can dramatically change the look of an image. The shadow can indicate how big the light source is and where it is coming from, as well as how far away an object is from the background. This is done by creating an offset shadow behind an object to indicate that the object is hovering above the background in 3D space.īelow you will see an example of how a drop shadow is made in Photoshop. The traditional use for a drop shadow is to simulate 3D depth in a 2D image.
