Then I don't understand how to do this. Do I create the context at this larger size? because that's what I did. Do I drawInRect the image at it's original size? Because that's what I did.
As near as I can tell, no matter what I do, the image itself, not accounting for the shadow, is drawn in the upper left corner. this causes a negative shadow, or one to the upper left, to be cut off by the edge of the context. I have attempted using drawAtPoint, and accounting for the negative shadow by moving the point an amount that should accommodate the shadow. It did not work. Now if the shadow is to the lower right, the adjustments I make work perfectly every time and the shadow is exactly what it should be. I think the point is that I do not understand the context drawing. I thought I did but it should be painfully obvious from this thread that I do not.
