    Default Exporting images with drop shadow

    Ive found a way to create a border, just adding the 3d extrude tool, and it works quite well, however adding a drop shadow to the image looks cool to.
    I have exported the image as a jpg, however on my siote there is this white background.
    How do I lose this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Ant, Try exporting your image as a .png with alpha that should work.

    Or, place the image over a rectangle that is the same color as your page background. Select the objects but not the colored rectangle and export. The image will now look fine over your web page background.

    PNG with Alpha transparency is also good for small images but for larger images can result in larger than desired file sizes.
