Drop Shadows PSE6

[butlercy]

Help, please! I have PSE6, and just started doing my first digital scrapbook, and so far, so good. I've used PSE6 for photo editing before and have created a couple of photo cards, but this is my first major project. However, I'm stump as to how to do drop shadows in PSE6. I've seen a couple of tutorials, but they must be for using another version. Can someone help me? I've tried the "help" menu, but of course that is useless. So if anyone can help me find the drop shadow menu, I'd be MUCH appreciative!!

The drop shadows are in the Layer Styles section of the Effects palette; if it's not in the palette dock on the right side of the screen, go to the Window menu and select Effects. Then choose the Layer Effects icon (the second from the left) at the top of the Effects palette, then choose Drop Shadows from the pop-up menu.

I find the easiest thing is just to draw one. Create a separate layer below the one you want to shadow draw in black with the brush tool where you want the shadow, the gaussian blur the layer and reduce the opacity until it just looks right.
