IPTC.Caption	My favorite shadow trick for light-on-light colored objects: Use your favorite shadow on the object. My favorite happens to be Sarah Batdorf's Basic Shadows Styles. I use them on almost every page. Then control/click on the object's thumbnail in the layers palette to get the "marching ants." Create a new layer underneath the object by control/clicking on the new layer button at the bottom of the layer palette. Using the paint bucket, fill that layer with a nice medium to dark gray. Switch to the move tool, nudge up and to the left one or two notches with the arrow keys. Reduce the opacity to something like 20-35% and apply a gaussian blur from the filter menu. It's a bit cumbersome, but well worth the extra effort!
