How do i get a drop shadow w/light from on top?

[rickl]

Hey this is probably an easy question for you guys. I need a drop shadow with the light on top of the object. When I try to add the drop shadow via a layer style, the only option seems to be which angle in a circle AROUND the object (0-360 degrees). How do i get the light coming from directly on top of the object? Because I want the shadow to appear both on the top and the bottom of my object...

Thanks for any tips!

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do...
you want the light on top of the subject but you also want the shadow to appear on the top & the bottom of the subject. If the light source is from directly above ie 90 degrees, then you will not have a lot of shadow depending on the shape of this subject.

Then how do you normally get shadows at both top and bottom?

I could have sworn there was some kind of altitude control for lighting but I can't seem to get to it...

Inner glow will add light to the top of an object
