Re: Drop Shadows in PSP

Hi Randy,

Thanks for trying to help.  I've pretty much been able to get that far,
but...  My remaining problem is that the border on which the shadow is
"dropped" is white, while I want it to be transparent, so that the shadow
works on any background.

Can you tell me how to add a transparent border to the image?

Again, TIA.

Steve

P.S.  Why is the shadow in your instructions 2 pixels smaller than the size
of the border?  Shouldn't the shadow fill / cover the border?
