Sandra-

In the Drop Shadow dialog box, change the Distance value to zero. This will center the drop shadow beneath the object so it will show on all sides.

how do you make the shadow show all the way around.
This is something we are trying to do.

I was just looking for something like that !
Thanks !

However, is there a way to make the corners of the polaroid round … ?
The “Outer Glow” style makes round corners (using Spread=100%), but is there a way to make the bottom margin larger than the sides and top ?

…which begs the question, how old do you have to be to remember what a Polaroid is? Whatever the cutoff, I’m way above it

Thanks for the tip!

This PS action is also pretty accurate.

I know it isn’t an additional InDesign trick to do this but it works.

Wow … amazing as usual, Mike. The “Choke” setting on the Directional Feather would make a great Obscure InDesign Feature of the Week … shshshsh don’t tell anyone, we like to save these till the reveal.

Thanks, that’s a fun little app. I do wish you could skip the wait time. But bonus points for the way it adds the subtle texture to the white frame and the other effects that you add. Also, looks like the current version only comes in French (or the link to the English version is pointed at the wrong file). Anyway, it’s easy enough to figure out. Cool stuff.
