Four lifted corners with shadows

[CobaltCat]

I am using PSP XI, but am interested in a plugin or a separate piece of software to get this four corner shadow effect:



Any leads? My client really wants this look for about 50 images.

Thanks!

how about a mesh warp on a rectangle behind, with some blur applied?

BTW - nice to see a fellow Brooke McEldowney fan - Solange is

What Steve said. Create a feathered shape for the shadow and place it behind the picture. I'm not familiar with PSP. I created this using Xara Xtreme in a couple of minutes.

By the way, this amazing picture was created by the talented Russian artist Vladimir Konstantinovic; it is included in the clipart that you receive when purchasing Xara Xtreme.

I have not used PSP since version 8 but following Steve's and Zee's advice:

Create a layer with the 'shadow' shape. Bring the image you want in the foreground into a new layer above the 'shadow'. You may need to resize or center the foreground a little to get the desired effect.

You can also play around with the shape (shadow) to get the curled effect that your looking for.

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate all the help.

handrawn - yup, I've been a big fan of Solange for a long time. Her and Ludwig of Arlo & Janis fame.
