What is this?
This is the free version of Drop Shadow.  Please give it to your friends!
Drop Shadow is one of six Photoshop plug-in filters that make up
The Black Box from Alien Skin Software.  The other filters are Emboss,
Glass, Glow, Swirl, and HSB Noise.  To see examples of what these filters
can do, run Drop Shadow from within Photoshop.

Installation:
The other file in this archive, "DROP.8BF", is a Photoshop plug-in.
To install it, simply copy it into your plug-in directory within your
Photoshop directory (eg. \PHOTOSHP\PLUGINS).  Next time you run Photoshop,
there will be a new entry called 'Alien Skin' in the Filter menu.
If you can't find the file DROP.8BF, but you do have SHADOW.ZIP, then
you need to unpack SHADOW.ZIP.  To do this, type "pkunzip shadow.zip".

Tips:
An easy way to learn about Drop Shadow is to try it on text.  Make some
really big text (over 30 point) and then run Drop Shadow on it while it
is selected.
