I don't know if there's a way to do this, but I have an image that is being masked so only a small portion of it is showing. I would like to add a drop shadow or bevel or some kind of filter to the visible part of the image, but since the edges of the original image are masked out, this doesn't seem to work. I've tried adding the filter to the image and to the mask and it didn't work either way. I have a feeling this isn't the last time I'll face this issue, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind. I realized that all I needed to do was to encapsulate image and mask inside a movie clip and then apply the filter to that movie clip. Funny, how my brain waits until 5:00pm to turn on.
