problem with 3d shadow

Beitrag von john smith »

i have evaluation version photoline 10.51, problem with 3d shadow .
all pictures and (layers) are "use transparency" but can`t get shadow outside of lasso selection.
I remember that earlier photoline versions 3d shadow making was very easy.
Now i must uninstal this 10.51 and find older version somewhere.

Do you use the layer effect 3d shadow or the function 3d shadow? I tested both just now and both worked fine.

Hello John:

Take care: it is NOT possible to just make a selection in a layer and generate a 3D shadow only effetive for that selection!
That shadow would be valid for the whole layer, and you dont see it as it is located outside of the layer, outside of the visible image.

Justa select the part you would like to have a shadow for.
Right click in that selection (or in the layer dialogue) and select "convert selection to layer".
Then apply the 3D shadow to that layer.

Regards
Michael
