Digital Photography For Moms Drop Shadow Free Action for Photoshop

{by Erin • Tuesday, March 3, 2009 • 11 Comments}

Here it is, my first attempt at publishing a Free Action for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements!

This action creates a drop shadow under your picture.  It looks super for posting images on Flickr, or on a blog.  Or for simply printing a picture on a scrapbook page.  Here’s an example:

The background under the drop shadow is transparent if you save your file as a PNG, so that you can use it on any color paper or web page. [Edit:  Keep in mind that if you flatten your PNG, you lose your transparency.  So plan your workflow accordingly.]

And it works in Photoshop Elements 4, 5, 6 and 7  as well as Photoshop.

Click on this image, then scroll to the middle of the page for the download link.

Thank you, CoffeeShop Rita, for your inspiration, encouragement and education in creating Photoshop actions!

So, what do you think? Does this action work for you?  Thank you for your feedback!
