RE: Transparency Selection
Sorry about the noise. Right after I sent this message out, I found a way to do it, though not pretty. I kept selecting the regions I wanted the drop shadow to appear on, then inverted the selection. I finally got the look I wanted, but I also ended up with a bunch of transparent squares with drop shadows onto transparent backgrounds... Thanks!

Is there any way to select the transparent section of an image? What I am trying to create is an image that will look decent on any color background (hence the transparency). I want the image to have a *cut out* appearance so I was going to select the transparent portion and use the drop shadow script. Or, is there a better way to do this? Thanks! CK
RE: Transparency Selection
actually, it's much easier... Right click on the layer you want to select, hit "alpha to selection". Then invert the selection. n Fri, 16 Jun 2000, Kulish, Chris (Des Moines) wrote: Sorry about the noise. Right after I sent this message out, I found a way to do it, though not pretty.

RE: Transparency Selection
That worked, but with one problem. I am trying to make an image with multiple depths which will require me to use the drop shadow multiple times. Or will it?
