Pic 3 - the picture is half behind and half in front - the half behind doesn't work, the half in front does
I still don't know how to resolve the problem though.

Ian, I assume you want the top inner and left inner to display a shadow. If you use a frame with a cutout and a shadow this can only end up on the top so the image is underneath and will not be accessible.
A PNG, through transparent in areas, is this there is is over the image. You therefore have to think out of the box (or frame).

The construction from bottom to top is:
  1. Frame with cutout and shadow.
  2. Image with pop-up active.
  3. Top inner shadow.
  4. Left inner shadow.
  5. All soft-grouped.

The inner shadows are just thin rectangles with a Feather or Linear Transparency.

i have overemphasised the inner shadow colours on purpose.
