I tried the black to white gradients,drop shadow effect, air brush tool to little success. Anyone know or have a tutorial link on how to achieve the receding drop shadow effect? Thanks, Cm

Grey to white gradient with a bevel emboss layer style.

I'm sorry I should have clarified the shadow to the left of the white panel, not the gradient on the top. Thanks, Charles

It's such a small picture it's hard to see the actual effect you're after. I did this with a gradient and inner shadow. Hope it helps.
