Problem filling with bitmap

[gwpriester]

OK. I can create and print an irregular shape with a bitmap fill and a drop shadow without issue. But if I preview as a web page, I can see the shape of the bitmap image included in the shadow.

In my image the second shape has been converted to editable shapes and then un-grouped. But the first example is as described.

And my screen capture brings up a second point.

I made a screen capture in Xara, pasted into Xara, made the screen capture 96dpi then reduced to 57% which on my 4K monitor is the same size as the original. But the resolution is terrible.

If I paste my screen capture into Affinity Photo it retains the original detail (left) vs Pro+ (right)
