Question

Text (Long Drop Shadow)

How can I create a Text 'Long Drop Shadow' without having to duplicate layers. I know there is a way of selecting the text with the 'Selection Tool' then pasting it in to another layer, and then just pressing UP and DOWN on the keyboard. But I've forgotten how to do this process, which as much faster and more accurate.

      Ben, there is a forum rule that says when we get questions like this, I have to show you a tiny part of what Alien Skin Eye Candy 7 can do.  I rather like the marble look personally.

      It's better idea tu use 3D effect

      Select layer with text and go to 3D menu and then select Make 3D extrustion from Selected Layer

      You can also do it in Illustrator. in this case your graphic would be Vector.

      Maybe it's better idea?

      I've tried Illustrator (might try it again) but it doesn't go the exact length and angle I want.
