"I found the link which gives step-by-step directions for
creating a chrome look in Photoshop to be very interesting
and useful.  Does anyone know of any similar links for doing
drop shadows in Photoshop?"


    No but its easy enough:

    1. Take your object and duplicate it
    2. Make it black (I usually do a Brightness Contrast
Intensity with B at 0)
    3. Do a slight gaussian blur on the dark one
    4. Put the dark one below the original
    5. offset it and voila - drop shadows
