Hi all!


I have used the Drop shadow feature on an object so the results is great for me but I'd like to get rid of the left drop shadow thaht appears on the object. so keep righ and bottom and remove left part of the drop shadow.

 

Possible ?

Thank you

Create an inverted clipping mask with a simple rectangle.

Reduce your blur amount. When the blur is too high it leaks out of all sides.

 

You could also increase your X & Y offset slightly , but having done so many drop shows over the years, your main issue is your drop shadow is too soft.

Benjamin,

 

As I (mis)understand it, you can create a rectangle above the newspaper part See about stacking order in your other question), then select both and hold Ctrl/Cmd and press 7 to apply a Clipping Mask.
