I have text on top of a lime green background and I made the text have an orange drop shadow, but unless I hide the green background it doesnt really show up  I have no idea how to fix this! I have un-installed and reinstalled photoshop (I have CS3) but it still wont work! I need to have this done like, yesterday =( Any help is greatly appreciated. I will provide pics in a min...
When I make the bg visable, the dropshadow's color goes away |

Check what blending mode your drop shadow is set to.
Looks like to me it's set to burn, change it to normal mode. |

Or you could always go around the problem by duplicating the text layer, then rasterize it, colour it orange, put it behind the black text layer and do a gaussian blur.
but as Excruciating said, i thnk the problem is your blending mode. |
