Drop Shadow problem

Post by Heavysteel »

When creating and applying font to and image I create a floating text and apply a drop shadow multiple times while the text is still floating. I apply the Drop shadow offset 2 vertical and 2 horizontal, 100% opacity with 0 Blur. The initial text tool settings I have anti alias turned on smooth. If you look at the top example you see that the multiple Drop shadows emulate a 3d text nicely while the lower more recent example has a very unsightly white dividing line between each application of the Drop shadow. Why is the white line now occurring? I cannot figure out what is different and causing the this unsightly issue. I have never noticed this in the past and it makes emulating 3d font impossible when using my tried and true prior method. I am using Paintshop Pro X5.

Does ticking the box to put the shadow on a new layer help?
