Looks cool!

How did you figure out that they’re 98% accurate?

That’s top – I’ve never been able to get the drop shadow just right… the sides and bottom of the shadow are easy to do but it’s impossible to get the mac style couple of pixels at the top as well. I always resorted to using a gradient overlay with a very extreme cut-off point so the top is effectively stroked but the rest is left as is – it never occurred to me to use an outer glow to achieve this!

Thanks!

This is brilliant! I’ve always been annoyed by the fact the cmd-shift-4 space doesn’t include the drop shadow for the window you’re taking a photo of, making it… pretty useless. With this, the problem is solved! Thanks!

Thanks!

I would love to know how to recreate the shadowing where it looks like the image is curled at the bottom edges, with shadowing underneath, but none in the middle.
