Question

How do you get those nice drop shadows on Reorder Form Library images?

Answer

We are often asked how we get those nice drop shadows on Reorder Form Library items. When preparing images to use with Reorder Form Library items, how do you go from this...

...to an image with a nice drop shadow, like this?

It's pretty easy, really. We start by opening the image in PhotoShop, increasing the canvas size by 40 pixels (20 pixels on each side), and adding a drop shadow to the original image layer. We like to use drop shadows with the following settings:

• 40% Opacity
• 135° Angle
• Distance=5
• Size=10

Of course, feel free to play around with those settings to create your very own unique look.
