Hi,
Does anyone know how to get text to curve along a rounded path, while also having a drop shadow? I know how to get the text to curve, and I know how to apply a drop shadow to the text, but I can’t figure out how to do both at the same time.
Thanks!

put text on curve
duplicate layer
re-colour the bottom text layer black by locking the alpha channel and drag'n'drop black over it
unlock alpha channel
apply Gaussian Blur
offset
adjust Opacity to taste
set layer to 'Multiply' or 'Grain Merge', etc.



here are two very good tutorials on the subject:

Awesome, thanks for the links. Those didn't come up when I was searching! Also, Filters>Light and Shadow>Dropshadow works fine, but for some reason when I was trying to do this late last night it wasn't working. I must've been overtired and doing something wrong. Boy, do I feel like a dummy. In any case, thank you for your help!!
