Trying to put shadow on JPEG image.

[David Griffiths]

Hi all,
I'm trying to put a shadow on a star that is a JPEG image but not having too much luck. I've tried using the help in Corel Photopaint, but just can't get my head around the thing.

I've tried to do it in Corel 12, however it just puts the shadow around the "invisible square box". So I guess i need to somehow remove that pesky box.

Any help would be appreciated, even if you can point me in the right direction

Thanks

Is it complex? You can send it to me and I will add the shadow if you want.

I guess I should have asked how you want the drop shadow to fall. If you need a different direction, size, ect, let me know.

Thanks guys, I'll see if CD12 is the same as X3 in the morning as it's now nearly midnight and I've had enough for one day.

I'll also investigate CS3.

Thanks to all for your extremely quick responces, very much appreciated
Hope I can help somehow in the future
