Help
I have taken a strip element (like a wavy piece of cardstock strip) and placed one at the top of the page and one at the bottom. I was able to apply a drop shadow to the one at the top, but the one at the bottom shadows at the bottom of the element and not the top. I tried using an inner shadow, did not look right. I tried the outer glow but when I changed the settings to get it to look right, it changed the settings on my picture and the top element as well, even though I had them locked. I am using PSE4. Any help would be appreciated.

I experience problems like this too. You can adjust the angle of the drop shadow under layer styles. I've found that this changes all of the shadows. There was a suggestion in the thread I started to create the element and shadow as a seperate document and bring it in as it's own layer.
Good luck and let us know if you find a solution.

Well, really, don't you want all yur shadows on one page to be the same direction?That's more natural looking.
Tha way to change it, though, is in the Styles window, when you click on Drop Shadow, you can unclick the "universal direction" (I think? Something like that, I don't have photoshop running right now) and change the degree of that shadow to anything you want.
