I MUST shadow as I go. I don't use Photoshop so I dont know the process. But I haveat least 5 to 7 steps just to add an element. So I don't have the patients to go back through each one , layer by layer, when I'm done.

Plus I can't see the page come together unless I do it as I go. If I'm doing a layout that's not coming together I will delete it after 20 minutes and do something else. I never get far if I don't shadow as I go for this reason.

* side note: I have been looking everywhere for tutorials on shadows and layouts that focus more on " this is what looks appealing and this looks gross" most are heavily focused on the "lets show Ashley all of the technical magic she's missing with out PS" Aspect. I hope that makes sense- my cognitive functions are failing me today.

** and after reading the thread I see more magic awesomenss I'm missing-shadow warping?!?! I have to move to a laptop or iOS.
