26. We have now added all the elements we will be adding to our frame but we are not quite finished yet. We need to add some drop shadows. Keep in mind that the shadow of an element should only show on the layer that it is on top of. So with that said, we will be adding a drop shadow to each element of our cluster frame except for the frame and the 2 feathers (feathers don't drop well). I used a drop shadow of 7, 5, 50, 5, color set to black, and make sure you check the box for the shadow to be on a new layer. You want your drop shadow on a separate layer for each of the elements. REMEMBER: do not add a drop shadow to the frame or the 2 feathers.

27. Now close off all layers except for the frame and leave the frame layer open. Open (unhide) all the drop shadow layers. (They will all say shadow in the layers pallet). You still want all your element layers hidden. All you will see now is the frame and the various drop shadows for your elements. It should look something like this:

Click on the frame layer. Selections, all, selections, float, selections, defloat, selections, invert. Keep selected. Now, starting at the bottom of your layers pallet and working your way up to the top, click on EACH individual shadow layer, and hit delete on each one. (This will only delete the shadow that extends beyond the frame). Once you have done that for each drop shadow layer, you should see something like this:

Go to selections, and none. What we have just done is delete any drop shadows that extend beyond your frame and cleaned up the look of the frame so that if you click in the center of the frame with your magic wand, the marching ants should be right up against the frame.

Unhide all your layers. If you flood filled your background with white, delete that white background layer now. Go to the top of your layers pallet and click on the top layer. Layers, merge visible, and you are finished.
