I have a photo in an Image component and I set the border to full radius to make it a circle. I put a shadow on it and in Elements, the shadow looks great, but when I preview the shadow is cut off on the bottom. Why does it look fine in Elements and then cuts off in Preview? Does anyone know what settings I should toggle on or off? I tried to set to Visible in Overflow but that doesn’t seem to work. ![Screenshot 2026-04-11 at 4.04.42 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/3/5320164695cd3840e5367968cedc84bee5c33545.jpeg) ---

Have you set the overflow to hidden on the images? ---

I set it to visible and that didn’t work. What’s weird is I don’t see the cut off shadow in Elements it’s only when I preview it cuts off. ---

Should be overflow “Hidden” in the Layout tab of the image inspector ---

I have this and it’s still cutting off. Is this what you mean? It’s still the same issue: I don’t see the shadow cut off in Elements but when I preview I see it cut off. ![Screenshot 2026-04-11 at 8.53.09 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/7/87a9c642dcb9941a62e61f5c54d224957397f6ae.png) ---

Add some padding below to the component, the image or the container the image is in. Maybe upload a project file for someone to look at ---

It has padding already. What’s weird is it’s not showing in Elements so I don’t understand why it would cut off in preview as Elements is supposed to be WYSIWYG. I can’t remember how to upload but if I did who would look at it? ---

To clarify: if you set overflow to hidden, you will see the shadow cropped. Set it to visible (or don’t touch it at all). ---

Thank you. It looks like a combination of adding some padding and setting the overflow to visible fixed it. I’ll keep checking to see if the cut off comes back but for now I think I solved it. Thanks everybody! ---

Padding should not be necessary if overflow is set to visible. But glad to hear it works for you now.
