We can get a free one from urbanfonts.com. Let’s pick Adira Display. Then create a new file. Dimensions should be 500px x 500px. A dark gray background is just fine. Don’t pick black as we are going

Sometimes you need to create a 3D software box, hardcover book, or other box-like object in a pinch. It could be done the long way by using a 3D program, or you could even take a digital photo of the real item. However, a fairly good result can be achieved with nothing more than a 2D image of the cover of the box and Photoshop. Here's how: Start by acquiring the artwork for the cover of the box.

By David Vincent While the above trick is very cool it isn't as pretty as using real images. It is such a pain to edit every photo to include a drop shadow so in this tip we are going to show you how to add a drop shadow to any of your images.
