I'm just starting to get back into scrapping again after a hiatus and I'm still using shadow styles from way back when. I notice that some people have more definition to their shadows and although I know how to adjust them, I'm curious if everyone tends to use more of a style approach like I do to this or if you adjust shadows with every layout. Any tips on making my elements/papers pop a little more with shadows? I'm using PS CS5.
Also was wondering if you tend to use photo effects a lot and if so which are your favorites from the store? I get impatient and don't want to fiddle around with my photos too much so actions are usually a good way to go for me.
