Selection Problem

Hi

Sorry for this question but I need guidance on this. I have a rounded box with a drop shadow on it the layer has been rasterised I have done a load selection of a pic into this box, no problem.

I now want to select the lower half of the picture in the rounded box and delete the lower portion of the pic I then want to put a vertical drop shadow on the pic inside the box.

How do I select the lower portion of the pic in the rounded box and delete it and put a drop shadow on this pic.

I have tried crop and the selection box plus the lasso but they all look messy and the drop shadow looks crap

Please help

Hi

For the bottom bit of the box, select the area and just press delete or cut, but make sure the background colour is what you want, otherwise you have to fill it with the right colour you want. As for the Drop Shadow, just select the whole box and use the layers effect with the Drop shadow effect chosen, and enter the values you want with preview box showing you the effect as you apply it. You need Photoshop 6 or higher for doing this way. I hope that helps.

How do I accurately select the bottom part of the picture and delete it and keep the shape of the box and the drop shadow?
