Reply To: Polaroid Challenge

I like hank_scorpio's solution. Simple. Scalable. Very nice.

If you want something you can apply with an object style, you could try a thick stroke (as thick as you want the bottom of the Polaroid to be) and then use a Directional Feather with 100% choke to trim the top and sides. This, plus the drop shadow can all be applied with an Object Style. If you need to scale it, go to your General preferences and choose When Scaling: Adjust Scaling Percentage. This way the choked directional feather will scale along with the stroke and photo. To make sure the white border doesn't get totally lost on one side, play with the drop shadow settings or make the stroke a very light gray (4%), or better yet, both. Hmm, maybe I should write this up with some pix…
