Well, yeah, but then, as you said, the new window is *exactly* the size of
the image. You'd have to go in and make your canvas bigger to make room for
the shadow. :)
One mistake I made was that I called the point-to-point thingy a cropping
tool, when it is in fact a selection tool. But, hey, from the time I read
Jason's email, to figuring out what to do in PSP, to writing the
instructions, to uploading the images to the web, to sending my email to
TECHWR-L was less than an hour. I was rushing.
