Drop Shadows in Quark?

[mkghayes]

Is it possible to create a drop shadow in Quark 6.1 behind text or graphics?

[Pointyhat]

Text by offsetting a copy of the text box with the text at a % color (make sure that runaround is shut off). Graphics I do in PS

A soft drop shadow can be created but only if you pay for plugins from Extensis or others try this link for other options...

But you could create easy, live, editable drop shadows in InDesign :twisted:

Okay. Thanks so much for the input!

No doubt you've sorted this out given the age of the post.

Here is another Xtension that I've used for generating Shadows in Quark.

yeah, drop shadows in InDesign are very easy to do.

Can't believe I'm picking up for InDesign but after using it for a couple of months in outputting files I've found it to be very output friendly.
