I am attempting to cut an object out of one picture, paste it onto the background of another picture, and add a drop shadow to make it look more realistic.
The problem is, the drop shadow is not only visible on the edges of the object, the shadow is visible over the object too.
I can't figure out how to move the pasted object forward, over the shadow. When I go Layer>Stack>Raise Layer....Raise Layer is greyed out.
Right now the object is a "Floating Selection (Pasted Layer)". I tried anchoring it, but "Raise Layer" is still greyed out.
How do I get the drop shadow behind the object Ive pasted onto my picture?
PDF attached (GIMP file wouldnt fit)
