What I meant is a light drop shadow, not a dark one.

In Effects box, pick your Layer Styles icon. Then in the drop down pick Drop Shadows and choose which one you want to add to your layer.

Then once the drop shadow is on there, you see an icon on the layer you just added it to. Click it. You can lower the opacity to make your drop shadow lighter. Also, yYou will then see a very small black box. Click that to change the color of your drop shadow. I use the eyedropper to either pick my layer i jsut added a shadow to or the background paper underneath, then choose something darker than that shade in the color box as my shadow color.
