I simply cannot get the hang of adding a drop shadow to a photograph in Paint Shop X2. No problem with text, but can't figure it out with photos. None of the tutorials I've read nor the book I bought on Paint Shop explain how to do it. All I want to do is add a simple drop shadow to a photo. Can anyone give me a step by step tutorial. Thanks.

Adding drop shadows to photographs

Drop Shadow to a photo? You mean an element inside the photo? or to the photo itself?

O.K.
You would need to make the canvas larger, enough to accommodate the picture plus the drop shadow.
then just select the empty space and invert the selection, and Apply a drop shadow.
