Probably doing something stupid here, but let me ask the question.
Lets say I have a background image and then I select a person from another image and paste it as a new layer over the background image. When doing this I often have to create a mask on the upper layer to clean up the image thus hiding portions of the original selection that should not be there.
I now want to add a drop shadow of the person, when I do this, I am having a problem because the shadow shows up, but everywhere I masked around the image, I lose portions of the drop shadow. I hope I am being clear enough in my description.
Is there something I am doing wrong or a better way of doing this so that I have a clean drop shadow? Thanks for any suggestions - Carl
