I need to make a call out box for a tooltip and I need to match the existing style which has an all white content area, a shadowed edge that is transparent, See attached image example.

Use the pen tool to draw it, and save as a custom shape. Then you can add a drop shadow layer style.

I can duplicate the drop shadow, using the rounded rectangle and layer styles as you specify, but I just can't figure out how to make the shadow's gradient transparent.

Use the opacity slider in the drop shadow layer style.

I am definitely no PS expert, but from you picture I am guessing that I need to start with a transparent background (which I think has been my main problem) then on a different layer create my callout box and add a style to it for the drop shadow.
Since I am pretty much a newbie, I just needed know all the steps. Thanks.
