However it is done, there would not be a drop shadow or bevel around the image frames, since they are part of the film. I would select just the sprocket holes to delete from the layer so that the layer styles would only affect them and the perimeter of the film strip, but not the image frames Then change the film strip layer blending mode to darken or multiply to reveal the inserted images through the white frames. Making the drop shadow into its own layer would further allow warping of the film strip and the shadow to give a curled effect. Another thought is to use a stamp visible layer of film strip and images as the drop shadow. Since film is transparent, the images would also be projected as part of the shadow: http://www.pbase.com/filer/image/94460307/original There are many ways to create a film strip, even creating one from scratch.
