-how do drop shadow only on outside

---copy the stuff behind the skeleton.
------to do this use the magic selector on the layer with the skeleton. Select the area INSIDE the skeleton. Change layer to the background. select copy.

---paste it as a new layer (we will call this layer shadowlayer), under the skeleton. It should look like there is no difference at all.
---drop a shadow on shadowlayer. since you have the floor colored, you should only see the outer shadow of shadowlayer, while the inner shadow is being covered by the floor.

----suggested shadow settings:
in order to get the shadow to show all the way around like in most of our maps, you have to set distance to 0. the other two values are free to tweak with to make your map look as good as possible.
or just set the blending options of the layer style to outside glow
