I’m updating my portfolio site and am currently displaying images as a referenced file which is drawn from a folder on my server when the appropriate button is pressed. Right now, in order to use a drop shadow behind each piece, each image file contains a slice of the patterned BG with the drop-shadowed portfolio piece sitting on top of it.
This is working out fine for most of the files, but for some reason the BG comes in slightly shifted on others and causes a jarring effect when each new piece becomes displayed. Is there a way to add a drop shadow behind each piece (which I’m adding in photoshop) without having to lay it against a copied slice of the bg display?
I’ve found plenty of ways to maintain a transparency while the image is brought into the actual movie itself, but none of them work when I use the file as a referenced image.
Have I explained this clearly? Any help would really be appreciated. Have a great Labor Day.
