Shadow F/X

I applied the shadow effect to a graphic - but when I went to output it - it was gone. Tried with 2 different IMs - Arbor & Koyaa. With both I got the effect I wanted in "view" but once I outputted the graphic as a gif - the shadow effect was gone and I was left with the original graphic again.
What am I doing wrong?

Shadow is semi-transparent. It will only work if you either 'flatten' the image onto some background or you save in a format that handles semi-transparent colors.
GIF can not handle semi-transparency (only full transparency
JPEG can not handle transparency AT ALL
The only common format that truely handles semi-transparency is PNG.
Save you image as PNG, or flatten it to some color or image background.
