    Thanks. I tried it and it worked. I can't believe I did it, but your tutorial was very good.

    Thank you, I tried with a flower that I extracted and while I need to work on the shadowing, it was very nifty, and thanks to you, I found the blur tool.

    Your cut flower looks great! Did you extract that too? Well done!

    Re shadow: what are you using - PSE or PS? if you click on the fx at the side of the layer panel on the layer of your image, it will bring up the styles box... then you can adjust your shdow but just sliding it around or setting it.

    Here in PS is what my shadow settings are so it keeps the shadow closer to the element: (click on screen shot to make them bigger to see the settings)

    Top half flower:

    bottom half of flower I am using a double shadow with 2 different settings (see the layer styles for both the a & b Shadows

    folded shadow bottom a.JPG

    folded shadow bottom b.JPG

    Hope that helps.

    If you use PSE you can do the same by clicking on the fx and then adjusting the numbers on the shadows after the fact.

    Let me know if you need a PSE screen shot :)

    Hope this helps you with learning how to play with the shadows a bit :) :)
