add bevel and transparencies to bitmap

[ivan louette]

Above: using wall shadow and different kind of transparency
Beneath: add a wall shadow to a bitmap which has an alpha channel; add a few pixels blur but no transparency to the shadow; put the profile settings to make it a little bit narrower than the original image; convert to editable shapes, ungroup and clear shadow; go to the bitmap gallery and trace the shadow (monochrome); insert traced shadow, ungroup it, clean it from too little shapes, join shapes, fill with white, add a bevel (here rounded with 30° light elevation), put it under the original bitmap and scale it (then adjust eventually bevel); add a shadow!!!
Just for pleasure ...!
