How To Make A Drop-Shadow

1. Use a text tool and write out your name
2. Right click on the layer to rasterize it
3. Drag that type down to the new layer icon to dupliate it
4. At the top left, use the move tool and lock the transparency, not the lock icon but the transparency
5. Go to Edit > Fill and fill it with black
6. Turn that lock off to blur it
7. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
8. Blur as much as you want and press pkay, then reduce the opacity in the layer chart
9. move shadow layer underneath the text and move it to the right/left and down
