"Now let's add a little shadows to our selection here. So as you can see we have our sandy text up. Let's double click here. Let's go down to a drop shadows, select that and of course our mode is in multiply and our opasia is at 75 and I like that so far. Let's switch our angle, let's switch around to, I don't know, what's 30 look like, that looks pretty good. We'll put it there and let's say our distance, let's take our distance up just a couple more pixels, seven looks pretty good, let's take our spread, let's take it out quite a bit, there we go, now it's gotten pretty funky here. We're going to take our size, we're going to take it down to zero. Not it's not so funky, now it's just barely there. Just around the corner is the right thing. Let's choose a new contour for this, let's go ahead and click here and let's use, let's use this one right here. There we go. Now we got a little roughed up texture going on here. Seems pretty good. Go ahead and click edio lased like so. Let's take our noise and we're just going to leave our noise at zero. So everything looks pretty good right now so we're going to go ahead and hit OK on this. As you can see we got a little bit going on here, a little outline coloring and what not so what we're going to do is hit pause here and we'll take this up in the next part."
