Yeah, the image I took of the situation, is on alpha blending. the others totally dismiss and put a full white background on the image

I find lots of tutorials on drop shadows and alpha masks but not combinging the 2. I found one that did but that didnt work and was really old.

I guess that's the part I dont understand, how to exactly do that. I know how to make and apply alpha channel masks, I know how to make drop shadows, I don't know how to do both together.

It's a multi frame picture, the alpha mask is to cover around it otherwise, I get a picture with a white background that I don't want. It's just on a basic prim at the moment. I don't want my whole texture going transparent, even 1%, isn't waht I want to do. I see this done all the time in items, I just don't get why I can't get it to work myself. Trying to learn to do this, so when I do a photo for someone on SL, they can have thier photo this way, but I was running into issues trying to figure it out to begin with. The drop shadow is properly transparent on photoshop, it just doesn't continue to here. Or I just don't know how to create a mask thta will work with the drop shadow

I have looked all over the web for this and I never seem to find the right information OR the right solution that works as it says. So here is what I am TRYING to do. I am making an image, that has a drop shadow, I have to use an alpha mask around it and I want a drop shadow behind it. You would think, easy enough right? Well, the problem I am having is when I do the alpha masking around it, it doesn't take in consideration for the drop shadow. I did try another way but when I can get that, it doesn't keep the transparency to semi transparency of the dro shadow, it ultimately ends up like a drop shadow surrounded slightly by white and everything outside that is transparently covered by the alpha mask. So, I am stuck. And yes, uploading as TGA. I swear, I've done this right before, for the life of me I can't figure out how. I have Photoshop CS5 Any help is appreciated.. before.. I eat puppies and throw rocks lol
