I have a UIView set as “shadow”, and I put this view behind a UIImageView to create a shadow effect. The only problem is, if you decrease the alpha of the image, you can see the white part of the UIView. How do I hide the whole UIView except for the shadow? Setting the backgroundColor to clearColor hides both the view and the shadow, which doesn’t help. Thanks.

shadow.alpha = 0.95;
shadow.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
shadow.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
shadow.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
shadow.layer.shadowRadius = 10.0;
shadow.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 4);

    Have you tried modifying the UIImageView’s layer to have the shadow, rather than having two views?

    If that doesn’t give the desired output, does a black UIView work? If you post a screenshot and the desired effect, maybe I can be of more assistance.
