Drop shadow

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I’m a newbie when it comes to photoshop so please be gentle. 😉

I have a layer that contains my website logo, the actual text of the logo has a drop shadow and i’d like to apply the union jack over the whole logo but keep the drop shadow, i want to use the union jack image to actually create the drop shadow so it’s sort of like you have the union jack as 3d text.

I’d really apreciate some help or someone pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks
Andrew

Yes this can be done, however you need the font face and an extruded version of the font, either you make the extrusion or bring it in from another program like Xara 3d with the extruded text do as edjh explained (select the text first) then simply place the layer with font face text on top.
