Wendy I tried your Workaround regarding the above, but can't get it to work. Could you please give me some detailed description to enable me to make it work. Thanks,in advance, Ed Weidman. :)

Hi Ed ...

Do you mean this one ??


Sadly Adobe removed the ability to uncheck global light in PSE5 so that means that all shadows follow the same direction .. try this as a workaround:

Create your two layers and apply the inner shadow as Matt does in the tutorial
Then go to the layers palette, click on the top layer and do Layer>Simplify Layer.
Next do Image>Rotate>Layer 180 degrees
Then change the blend mode of the top layer to multiply

That should now work OK and you will be able to continue with the tutorial

-----------------------------------

Basically you have to apply the inner shadow to both of the layers and then Simplify the top layer ... flip it over and then change its blend mode.

Where abouts are you having problems ??

Wendy, thanks again for the help. After a few tries, I was able to flip the layer so as to create a box and then continue with the Tut. The course was great and I learned a lot. Ed Weidman :)
