Notes Software

How can I put a shadow on sticky notes in Photoshop 2?

I'm using CS2, and I'd like to put a shadow on my sticky notes that I've scanned in. Kind of like this: http://corporatetalker.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/sticky-notes.jpg I'm almost tempted to take pictures of these sticky notes instead so I can get the shadow in there! Thanks in advance for your help!

1. there is drop shadow filter effect you can add, you could also duplicate image and transform shape with new color, you can also draw outline with pen to any shape and fill with color, http://www.creativepro.com/article/photoshop-how-to-editing-a-drop-shadow http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/displaced-shadows/ http://mediadesigner.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=31601-1 http://www.adobetutorialz.com/articles/2794/1/Adobe-
2. Personally I would duplicate the layer and change the colour to a dark grey/black. Then change the layer style to multiply. If you rotate the image slightly so it looks more realistic (obviously but the shadow layer under the original image). You could maybe put a blur on the shadow layer to make it look more realistic. Personally I wouldn't recommend using the drop shadow effect. Although it's probably the easiest way, you wont get a very realistic effect. It does seem I tend to do things in more of a roundabout way than most people but it's one option I guess.
