Roger, Thanks for that, I am indeed using a black screen so that must be where it's going wrong. I'd have thought that I'd be able to select a shadow colour (i.e. grey) and it would turn out a treat. Obviously not from what you suggest. I have my pictures at 75% coverage, so it's clearly your first point where I'm going wrong. Never mind, my slide shows look a treat anyway and I'm dead chuffed with them pretty much the way they're turning out. Thanks for your suggestions. Regards Dennis (London, England)

Team, I don't seem to be able to get any shadow to appear beneath my slide images, even though I have ticked the project options/screen tab. Am I misunderstanding this concept or should I be able to see a drop shaow beneath each picture as they play through my slide show? Perhaps my length, offset, and opacity need carefull adjustment?? Any suggestions appreciated... Kind regards Dennis
