Felipe
Nothing easier than that.
In PhotoPaint 8 select the object you want to apply the drop shadow.
Then choose [Object] / [Drop Shadow] to open the "Object Dropshadow" dialog
window.

BTW there is a specialized Corel User Group list specially for Corel Draw
and Corel Photopaint
Send an empty e-mail to  help(at)cdug.com  and get full list instructions.
