**Edit** I googled and found another forum where someone suggested the "scale styles" option in the Resize--->Image step.

When I'm done with a 12X12 LO I want to post, I flatten it. Then I resize it to 72 ppi, 700X700. You don't have to do a "save for web" if you don't want to. But anyway, there is an option in the bottom of the box (where you look for your resampling option) that says "scale styles." If you leave scale styles unchecked, it will re-size the image but leave layer styles (I think) the same; so your pictures are resized but your drop shadows stay as deep as if they were on the 12X12 300 ppi original.

I did a test with text and a drop shadow. On the jpeg with "scale styles" left unchecked, the drop shadows were huge and very floaty.

Maybe Cassie or someone knows the exact answer. But always check "scale styles" when you're resizing and maybe that will help.

Happy, I don't think so, because I always flatten before I upload. I flatten in order to resize it. I've always done the exact same workflow, so I don't know why sometimes the drop shadows look funny.

But I just bought Katie's drop shadow set, so I'll see how it goes. I also am trying to make my shadows look more realistic, which means they are barely noticeable on my PSD file, so even if they are exaggerated on the web, they still won't look "floaty."

If someone knows the technical answer, I'd love to find out!
