Drop shadow in scal

Recommended Posts

This graphic is silver with a red outline. How do I make it so the machine only cuts out the red that's the actual drop shadow and not what's under the silver?

Use bottom minus top and you will be left with only the red that is showing.

Still couldn't get that to work. The option was grayed out. I finally ended up remaking the file from scratch and it finally worked. Thanks for the help.

You can only do two items at once when doing front minus back or back minus front.  You need to group/merge the red layer as one and then your gray top layer as one.  Your Letter O's were the issue.  So as it sits right now, you have red as one item, your gray as another layer, then the two inner parts of your letter O's made it four pieces.     Once your group each color separately, then I like to hold down left click, drag the mouse around your work then object/back minus front (or front minus back), whichever gives you that effect.
