Correct answer Semaphoric

I got the drop down shadow but I want it in a separate layer so I can move it independently. Perhaps I want to lay the shadow down or move it. I can't do that unless it's in its own layer. I know it can be done I just don't know how to do it. So my question is: How do I move the dropdown shadow to it's own layer in photoshop CC build 21.1.2.

Again, Thank you for helping me.

I still have it. It's called "Create Layer."

Oops, yes it's actually "Create Layer."

I'm on CS6 so maybe it's different, but I go to the layer effect "Drop Shadow," right-click, and choose "Make Layer.' and it becomes its own layer.

Thank you for the suggestion but There is no make layer.

In earlier versions it was possible. I know it can be done in this version
but I just can't figure out how.

Again, Thank you.
