Overwhelmed with information here, I went about finding the cause of the 
errors ONLY to discover the original script called FULL IMAGE DROP SHADOW 
can be edited with the values I want, something that hadn't occured to me 
before as I recorded a script that ran another script. That was the problem!

Changes was needed to the original script that's why the values I changed 
during recording were not reflected at all.

Thanks for your help!
