background image in div

When I imported a background image into a div that has a shadow applied, it doesnt slice correctly. There is a dark slice at the bottom instead of the image. Is there a way round it?

It is when I applied an ‘Outer Glow’ to the div.

So does your Div have a shadow and an outer glow. Or just a glow. Either way I don’t think that you can do it.

The slicing effect is supposed to be used on an image that is already framed (as part of the image itself) so adding a frame/glow doesn’t work.

If you are just wanting the glow (why are you wishing to slice - to be expandable?) Can you use the CSS3 shadow action instead.

If you specify a 0 offset then you can get a glow effect.

It has a rounded corner which works ok. And an Outer glow which doesn’t. I figured that adding an extra frame glow wouldn’t work. The css3 option would be good if IE rendered it correctly so until then I will manually create the glow in ps.

Cheers David.
