Photoshop CS2 Drop Shadow??
Please do not direct me to a tutorial, as I've already done 5 or 6 of them on this, and for some reason it's not working. I have a picture of my sister. I used the magic eraser to take away the busy background. I now have a picture of her in front of essentially a white wall. Maybe is it that because I "erased" the background there is now nothing for the drop shadow to show up on? I'm so confused- why won't this new drop shadow layer show up? Is it simply not showing? Is it hidden? Please give me a dumb, basic, step-by-step. It's VERY much appreciated!! :)

When you use the Drop shadow feature on a single layer the shadow is around the entire image, not just the person.
To see this, increase the canvas size and you will see the drop shadow. (Image Menu -> Canvas size)
If you want the drop shadow behind the person here's what to do.
1. Magic wand select the background, invert the selection to select just the person.
2. Make this a new layer, CTRL+J
3. Now go to Menu Layer ->Layer Style and use the drop shadow dialog box to have the shadow be behind the person.
Done.
