Default ? about Katie's Drop Shadow Style Collection

I know they are for PSE. My question is how do you know when to use each one? Do they come with suggested items to use each one on or do you just have to figure that out yourself?

Thanks

It depends on the element... but I use outer glow a lot. You can play around with it and see what looks right.

I think it depends on what you like more than anything. I tend to use the regular upper right shadow a lot. I also like outer glow, too.

I use a lot of the regular lower right shadow and the outer glow. You can always double click on the style and change it a little They are really easy and wonderful!

I usually just use the drop shadow layer style in PSE and then adjust it to what I think looks right. I just was thinking that using Katie's would be easier.

Katie's drop shadow styles are a must. They are fun to play around with. I should be spanked for not crediting them more as I use them so often.
