1 – Rename background layer by double clicking on it in the Layers Pallet and saying OK to the new name
2 – Double click on new layer and choose Layer Style > Drop Shadow. 3 – Create your angle, opacity, distance, spread, size of shadow. 4 – Add canvas space to the image in the directions of the drop shadow that is slightly greater than the size of the shadow (under Image > Canvas Size)

The drop shadow will then appear in that added canvas area.
