Image Shadow Adder, by Peter Hosey

What it does

Image Shadow Adder adds a shadow to an image (huh!) that appears to my eyes to be equivalent to the shadow normally added to windows by Mac OS X.

This is useful for preparing screenshots for display on webpages. No more Photoshop alpha-channel hackery — now you need only take one screenshot of the window (⇪⇧⌘4) and load it into Image Shadow Adder to give it a proper shadow. Screenshots of windows look so much better this way.
