I'm running Photoshop 2019 on iMac with Sierra OS. Drop shadow not working regardless of any option setting.

Found the answer! Drop shadow will work when the subject and background are on separate layers. I keep the subject on an adjustment layer.

Thanks all for your interest and help.

Is it possible that your Blend Mode in the Drop Shadow settings is not set to Multiply?
