I really could use some help on this shadow issue I have been having. Does any 
one know anything about drawing shadows around images in UIImageViews?

Below is code that gives me a shadow but the shadow is clipped to the edge of 
the view, how can I get an unclipped shadow?

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.frame.size);
        CGContextRef myContext =  UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
        

        
   float           myColorValues[] = {0, 0, 0, darkness};// 3
   CGColorRef      myColor;// 4
   CGColorSpaceRef myColorSpace;
   CGContextSaveGState(myContext);// 6
        
   myColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB ();// 9
   myColor = CGColorCreate (myColorSpace, myColorValues);// 10
   CGContextSetShadowWithColor (myContext, myShadowOffset, spread, myColor);// 
11
   // Your drawing code here// 12
  // CGContextDrawImage(myContext, rotatingView.frame,imgRef);
        

        rotatingView.clipsToBounds = NO;
        [rotatingView.image drawInRect:rotatingView.frame
                                                 blendMode:kCGBlendModeNormal 
alpha:.5];
   CGColorRelease (myColor);// 13
   CGColorSpaceRelease (myColorSpace); // 14
        
        UIImage *imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        CGContextRestoreGState(myContext);
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
        
        rotatingView.image = 
imageCopy;_______________________________________________
