Elusive shadows
Using a ‘vintage’ CS4 with a 2014 Mac mini/Yosemite.
I attached a light to the graphic and made sure it cast shadows. Made sure the graphic accepted shadows also. Made sure the background was slightly behind the graphic.
The first time I made adjustments the shadows worked normally. Later, I couldn’t get it to work. Everything functions except the shadow. Not sure what I may have done to make it go away.
Thanks for your input.

Using a Samsung smart tv. Can’t understand if it worked once why it won’t work again…

Maybe you’ve accidentally set the viewer in a draft mode?
A screenshot of your complete UI might help us diagnose your problem.

well first of all there is a preferences window blocking the screen..and #2…i can see you are trying to use layer drop shadows, which is not what you want. you want a light that cast shadows. usually you do not need anything else

Here’s the screenshot without the preference window.
As to the layers drop shadow, I was forced to use that in lieu of not having a light shadow.

are you sure the light is in the right place. it looks pretty small in the distance..hitting (AA) will bring up all the light options for a layer. cast shadows is turned off by default..and make sure the lights falloff is none

Here is another screenshot depicting more parameters: (I removed the drop shadow)

Just did a custom view and the logo is not shown, only the background. But on active camera view it is shown. Maybe I screwed up some other parameter???

Just did a different view and the logo is not shown, only the background. But on active camera view it is shown.
