      1. Press “t” shortcut for the ⚙️[Type tool]
        • Type “Rainbow Shadow” in a text box
      2. Press “s” shortcut for the ⚙️[Style tool]
        • Click the switch next to Shadow to enable it. Set Options Below:
          • Blur – set to 10
          • Distance – set to 5
          • Angle – set to 45
          • Opacity – set to 75%
          • Color – black
      3. Press “Shift – ⌘- N” for a new layer
        • You should see a new layer in the layers panel. We are going to fill it with a Gradient
      4. Press “G” for ⚙️[Gradient tool]
        • Set the Gradient Options to look like this
        • Click on canvas and draw a line to Gradient Fill the entire canvas
      5. Set the Layer Style from Normal to Color. See below between Saturation & Luminosity
      6. Your Layers Panel should look something like this:

       

      And your Canvas should look like this!

      Also it is super easy to create this alternate shadow by redoing the angle of the Gradient on the top layer.
