INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To do so, make sure your layer is selected. From there, there are three ways to open up the correct "Layer Styles" menu:  In the layers palette on the right, select the Effects button. It is small "fx" on the bottom of the palette. Click on "Layers" then "Layer Styles" from the top bar. Right-click on the layer in the layers menu and select "Blending Modes." It is usually on the bottom of the menu on the left side of Blending Modes or Layer Styles. Once you click it, you should see a checkmark in the box next to the words Drop Shadow. There are only a few settings, namely "spread" and "size," that really matter here. However, you should feel free to adjust the rest of the settings at will to get your perfect shadow. With the Layer Styles menu open still, click on the image and drag. This will show you the shadow. You will be able to move it later as well, so just put it somewhere you can see it well for now. Spread will take each bit of the shadow and grow it, meaning some parts of the shadow may blend into others. While the amount you want is different for each project, 5-10% will create a nice fuzz. Play with this until you find your desired amount of blur. For reference, remember that hard, bright light sources make very sharp shadows. Weak or far-off light creates blurrier shadows. Once your layer is fully styled, hit okay. You'll see a set of "eyes" appear under your layer in the layers palette, one labeled "Effects" and one labeled "Drop Shadow." Right-click on the "Drop Shadow" one and click "Create Layer." A box appears claiming "Some aspects of the Effects cannot be reproduced with layers!" Ignore this -- a drop shadow can be reproduced.

SUMMARY: Select the shadow layer and open up the "Layer Styles" menu. Select "Drop Shadow" from the menu. Click and drag the shadow in your image to move it around. Use the "Spread" to change how wide your shadow is. Use the "Size" to adjust the blurriness of the shadow. Hit OK to create your shadow, then turn it into its own layer.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . One of the best things you can do for both of your friends is to simply listen to what each one has to say. Sitting down with each of them individually can help them to express how they feel and it can also help you to see what the fighting is all about if you are not sure. Ask each of your friends walk you through their point-of-view and explain why they’re upset.  Make sure that you meet with each of your friends separately or else they may just start fighting with each other in front of you. Try inviting each one over to your house on separate days. Give your friends your full attention while they are sharing their perspectives. Put away your cell phone, turn off the TV, and remove any other distractions before you start listening. While your friend talks, make eye contact and show that you are listening by nodding and making neutral statements, such as “Uh-huh” and “I see.” If something is unclear, ask your friend to clarify. If your friend are reluctant to share, then you may have to ask some questions to get them talking. Ask open-ended questions to get your friends talking. Open-ended questions are those that cannot be answered with a simple YES or NO.  For example, you might say something like, “What happened with you and Joe the other day?” Or, “It seems like you are upset at Christina. What’s going on?” It may take a couple of questions for them to open up, but once they do, try not to interrupt. Since you have an outsider’s perspective, you may be able to clarify if something is untrue. This might be especially helpful if the argument started over a piece of gossip. If you have information that might smooth things over, then share it. For example, if one friend is mad at the other because she thinks the other person said something about her behind her back, and you know that this is not true, then you could say something like, “No, that’s just a rumor someone started. I was there and she did not say that.” After speaking with each of your friends one-on-one, you may feel tempted to call each of them up and share what was told to you. However, this is a bad idea. Remember that your friends have shared their perspectives and feelings with you in confidence. Do not share anything that you were told unless you have permission from your friend to do so.

SUMMARY: Listen to each of your friends Ask questions to find out what is going on. Clarify if something is unclear or untrue. Keep what you have heard to yourself.
