I made a new layer (about the third time I have done that), went to Layer Style/Drop Shadow. In the box that opened, I was able to offset, set opacity, angle, and the such, but it did nothing to the image. Do I need to cut out the image somehow?

Yeah. You needed to make the white background go bye bye.

Man, I should maybe bet you, at least that way one of us was sure to win.
But really, you must be close, no?

:p

Meanie.

Close....waiting on the cabinets that are being replaced to show up and waiting for countertop...and waiting for plumbing...and waiting for appliances to come in the house and be hooked up...waiting on some electrical.

Yeah. No.

You're in Wisconsin, you'll blend in.

Easy for you maybe. I could not find the 'Add Shadow' tool anywhere.
Seriously, that kinda stuff I am clueless on, but would sure love to learn.

That^^^ Cut out the white background and apply the drop shadow to the image. Create a new layer and fill it with the appropriate shade of grey so it will blend into the POTN background and make sure the layer with the image and shadow is on top.

You can get POTN grey by taking a screen shot of the page, opening it in Photoshop and using the dropper to click on it... Or you can go to the color picker and entering 211, 214, 221 in the RGB boxes respectively or d3d6dd in the block marked with #...

I expect you're going to be a trend-setter, Crissa. I can't imagine too many people wanting to be me for very long.

Really handy....you get clear backgrounds and none of the image degradation of gifs.
