To save your time from recreating Mac OS X’s drop shadow setting from scratch in Photoshop, here’s style set you can download and double-click on file to install into Photoshop’s Style palette window. Pick a layer you want to apply this style to and click a style in Style palette window. The settings are 98% accurate to Mac OS X’s drop shadow.
Nice, thanks for that!
Looks cool!
How did you figure out that they’re 98% accurate?
That’s really useful, thanks :)
Well done, thanks!

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!
This is a great time-saver, thanks for sharing…
does not load a new style in styles ?!?
Thank you so much!!
great!! thanks for that !
Thank you. Very helpful
Thats interesting, OSX, crazy.
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.
Thanks. I appreciate it.?
Very cool. Just used it for Santa’s Gizmo 3 mockup =).
thanks
An update for Leopard would be nice :)
