I am having trouble getting this to work as I think it should....When a use a text layer and process it with these tools, any drop shadows or blurs on the far right edge are chopped off. It takes the text layer, makes that the width of the manipulated image, and anything that might be to the right of that is gone.

So the blurs looks great until we get to the chopped right edge. Any suggestions--or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks-

I tried that before sending my original message, but it did not work. I posted some screenshots and more explanation at:

Try the Layer to Image Size function in the layers and channels menu. (Right click on the Layers and Channels Dialog to get the menu). This will expand the text layer to make room for the drop shadow.
