Make a new layer. With your Elliptical Marquee Tool draw a circle in the upper part of the folder and fill it with white. Then set the opacity of the layer at 29%.
Step 4
Open this image in Photoshop and drag it next to the folder.
Make sure the last layer is selected and go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur and set the Radius at 0.5 pixels.
Now go to Layer->Layer Style->Drop Shadow. Set everything like in the image.
