How to make this Photoshop effect?

How would I Photoshop this?



It looks like an outer glow or circular gradient...

(I accidentally posted this in another forum, if a moderator could please delete that thread...)

Like this one?? (hope you have a handle on photoshop!!)

I created a white box, added a new empty layer, made an oval selection on the blank layer, filled it with black and then gaussian blurred it (about 7px).

Made a new empty layer above the black blurred oval, selected half of it and filled half the box with white.

Re positioned the blurred oval so it looks like a shadow.

Select the section of black oval that is still showing, copy and paste to a new layer. (make sure the new layer is the top)

Drop the transperancy down to maybe 8 on the newest layer, rotate 180 degrees and re position afew pixels above the white box layer.

You can also draw a white line, and then right click the layer and choose "Drop Shadow".

If you draw a white line and then drop shadow, how can you make the shadow almost circular rather than horizontal?

Hmmm, good point, it's not possible :P
