You can use this dialog (on the Image menu) to add shadows to your images.
Shadow
Size (slider) - drag this slider to set your shadows to be
either closer or farther away from your selection. The shadow will
appear as in the preview pane in the Shadow dialog.
Inner
Shade - drag this slider to set the darkness of the shadow's
umbra, the core of the shadow. Dark increases the apparent contrast
of the shadow, making the light "causing it" appear more
"harsh and sharp." Light makes the shadow "softer"
and the light it is imitating appear less harsh.
Outer
Shade - drag this slider to set the darkness of the shadow's
penumbra. Dark makes the shadow appear less realistic, and more
"solid." Light makes it appear more "gentle" and
more realistic.
If you reverse the Inner and Outer shadow settings, you'll get an interesting look that makes it appear as though a "light source" is below your selection.
Add
around the current image selection - checking this tells
HyperSnap-DX to apply the shadow to the image currently loaded into
HyperSnap-DX workspace. The shadow will be added around the current
selection on this image, or to entire image if selection is not visible.
Auto-add
this shadow to all captured images - if you're doing a
collection of images where you'd like this shadow to be used (for
example a photo album of screen captures), checking this box will
force the program to apply the shadow automatically, without any
additional effort.
Preview
pane - this pane allows you to see how your settings will
look, although the background here does not resemble the image or the
currently-selected area, it's just plain white.
