Adding a drop shadow in Photoshop is a simple, but very effective way to highlight an element on screen, setting it apart from background elements and creating the appearance of three dimensionality. It works great on both text and images, and once you’ve mastered how to add one, you’ll be using drop shadows constantly. Without further ado, here’s how to add a drop shadow in Adobe Photoshop. How to add a drop shadow in Photoshop Select the layer to which you want to add a shadowClick the fx button, bottom rightSelect Drop ShadowSet the shadow parametersClick OK...

But it doesn’t have to be, and we’ve compiled this list with helpful advice for anyone heading out onto frozen roads. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, or even if you have a snow-friendly car like the Polestar 2 Arctic Circle, this is all worth bearing in mind. Here are our essential tips on how to drive in the snow safely. How to drive in the snow Accelerate gently Snow and ice doesn’t give much for your tires to grip onto, and quick and sudden application of the gas and brake pedals is more likely to make you slip and skid around....

Let’s face it, AirPlay is pretty awesome, and one of the features that helps make iPhones some of the best phones around. AirPlay makes the process of screen sharing between an iPhone and a Mac, or other Apple device, incredibly easy. Unfortunately, sharing your iPhone screen with a Windows PC isn’t quite as easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard. The only caveat is that your iPhone must support AirPlay....

The amount of phones with microSD card slots dwindle year by year, and you mostly find them on budget devices nowadays. If your phone does have the requisite hardware, using a memory card will not only allow you to store your photos and videos to it, but may also let you move some of your apps across. Here’s our guide on how to move Android apps to an SD Card...

Whether you’re running Windows 11 or Windows 10, there’s a way to protect any folder by adding a password to it, which is handy if you have some particularly sensitive files on your PC. This method involves creating a special folder that will “disappear” instantly, requiring a password to be entered to show it again. Granted, it’s quite a fiddly process and not as secure as encrypting your files using Microsoft’s Bitlocker tool....

Why? Well, one look at Apple’s Magic Mouse and trackpad makes it clear: there isn’t a button in sight, never mind a right-sided one! Couple that with the myth that Apple still doesn’t support right-clicking (it introduced a single button mouse in 1983 and stuck with it for 22 years, despite Windows users having long become used to using two) and you can see where the confusion arises. Yet right-clicking is part and parcel of macOS, and there’s also more than a few ways of doing it, whether you’re using the best mouse or a trackpad....

It seems like every console today lets you share your gameplay live by streaming to services like Twitch. Both PS4 and Xbox One give you all the tools you need to livestream right in the box, but if you want to stream with a Nintendo Switch, you’re going to have to do things the old-fashioned way and get a capture card. In this How-To guide, we’ll walk you through the steps of hooking up an external capture card and getting up and running on Twitch so you can start livestreaming gameplay as soon as possible....

While it can’t beat the new M1 chip in the iPad Air 5, the iPad Air 4 still performs extremely well. It has a 10.2-inch Liquid Retina display, 64GB of storage capacity (or 256GB if you opt for a pricier option) and powerful A14 Bionic chip. This is impressive considering the tablet weighs just one pound. The iPad Air 4 could even be an easy replacement for a laptop in your life....

In our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review we concluded that it’s the foldable phone to buy right. It has improved a fair bit over the original Galaxy Fold and has refined the winning formula of the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Not only does the Galaxy Z Fold 3 sport a rather impressive 6.2-inch folding display with a 120Hz refresh rate, it also makes use of an innovative under-display selfie camera that means the expansive screen is not disrupted by camera cut-outs or notches; in fact, you have to look quite hard to spot the camera at all....

One such sport which has particularly taken my interest is boxing — yes, you can box with a Peloton Bike. In fact, I’ve combined that with my Oculus Quest 2 to take my training to a whole new level. Here’s how the unlikely pairing of my Peloton and Oculus Quest opened up my eyes to the reality of boxing. How can you learn boxing with a Peloton? When you think of Peloton classes, you immediately picture cycling right?...

Now before you rush to the comments and call me an Apple sheep, I’ve tested and reviewed a lot of the best Android phones. And on a daily basis I still carry around a Google Pixel 6 Pro, so I’m by no means an iPhone convert. But despite there being one key reason why I’ve switched from Android to iPhone, I do have a clutch of problems with the iPhone 13 Pro and iOS too, so I won’t be ditching an Android backup anytime soon....

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Peloton Guide, it’s Peloton’s strength offering — designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help you reach your strength training goals. You plug it into your TV, and the device uses machine learning and smart camera technology to provide that in-person coaching experience, from the comfort of your living room. Unlike the rest of the range, the Guide probably won’t cost more than your month’s rent — it’s $295 to buy, then you’ll need a subscription to the classes, which costs $24/month....

As noted in last time, I had every intention of dropping the series after four episodes and not even finishing Moon Knight. However, the reaction to my critical opinion of the show from Marvel fans was passionate, to put it rather mildly. Many readers argued that it was unfair to judge the show without having finished it first. So, after much reflection, I decided the only course of action was to solider on through the Disney Plus series, and see this journey through to the bitter end....

It’s far from an alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but it is nonetheless an option for those note-takers who revel in the feedback of pressing a pen to paper — er, stylus to screen. And with appropriate specs for the price (albeit, a wariness based on our previous experience with MediaTek chipsets), the TCL Stylus 5G could become one of the best cheap phones by delivering where the Moto G Stylus fell short....

For instance, right now you can get the Brentwood Home Cypress Mattress (twin) for $399 (opens in new tab) via coupon “JULY”. That’s $100 off and the lowest price we’ve seen for this memory foam mattress. It’s also one of the best mattress sale offers we’ve seen this week. If you’re looking for a reliable bed, the Hybrid Latex Mattress won’t disappoint. It’s made from alternative, natural, and recycled materials....

The Instant Pot Pro is one of the more premium models in the company’s range of pressure cookers. In addition to a stylish makeover, it comes with 10 cooking functions including pressure cooking, slow cooking, sauté and yogurt maker and has 28 handy presets. Plus, you have the ability to preset five of your favorite recipes. Available in a 6 or 8-quart size, it’s big enough for a family of six or for batch cooking....

The iPad Pro 2020 also ups the ante in the performance department with a A12Z Bionic chip with an 8-core graphics engine, a dual-camera system that includes an ultra-wide lens and a LiDAR scanner that offers a more responsive augmented reality experience. But make no mistake. As you’ll see in our full iPad Pro 2020 review, the iPad is still a touch-first device, and it will take time for developers to optimize their apps for trackpad input....

There’s no doubt that the iPad Pro 2022 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra are versatile devices and some of the best tablets you can buy. But which one is right for you? We’ll go over each of their major features to help answer this question. I reviewed both the iPad Pro 2022 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The former features a 12.9-inch XDR display, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, while the latter has a 14....

Rather, I’ve been chewing over the standard iPhone 14 rumors thus far. And I’m worried. No thrill from the iPhone 14 rumor mill Now, I’ve come to expect incremental upgrades for smartphones, as many of the best phones are now so good and capable we’re getting to the point where big improvements generation-to-generation can’t really be expected. However, there are some rumors that have the iPhone 14 not only looking like its predecessor but offering little in the way of upgrades....

Majin Bu is a leaker with a reputable track record when it comes to iPhone case colors. They recently tweeted (opens in new tab) out images of what are identical clones of the iPhone 14 cases. While these reproductions are (obviously) not official, the manufacturers that make these cases often have advance notice regarding the official colors so they can complement what Apple’s upcoming phones will look like. Majin Bu does point out that these are just clones and not the actual cases....
