Alright, so in this tutorial I'm actually going to show you drop the opacity which we've already done. And I'm going to show you how to add the drop shadow really quickly, once more. So, what you want to do is, this is option two on the tape. We're going to make it look a little different than the other ones. This is a little faster way to do it. The lazy way, I guess. What you want to do is, actually drop the opacity of layer F82 to about fifty percent. And now you want to go down to your effects or your latest styles box which is right there. And click, 'drop shadow'. Now this is kind of what we did earlier, of course. Then I can zoom in for you guys to show you. I'm going to move the size to about sixteen. Oops! I'm sorry. Now I've dropped the opacity to about fifty. And that's given us our tape, give us a good little look on our tape. And I can come over here and zoom in for you guys. It's started to look like tape once again. And that is it for this small tutorial. I'm going to move on and show you the easy way to de-tape."
