 * Hello,
 * Could you please tell if the thumbnail image on [this page](https://servicecore.info/2013/03/how-to-install-imagick-pecl-extension-for-php-5-4-on-webfaction/)
   has a black border around the window, instead of a nice shadow, because of an
   issue with the plugin or perhaps because of system mis/configuration?
 * Thank you!

 * Sorry about double posting!
 * Initially, my first posting for some reason disappeared, or rather it did not
   appear at all, even though I could see it in my profile, from which it vanished
   half a minute later… so I typed another one.

 * in plugin settings -> **Image engine: Imagick PHP module**
 * at row 416 … 417
 *     ```
       if ( method_exists( $im, 'setImageOpacity' ) )
       		//	$im->setImageOpacity( 1.0 );
   
       change code to
       if ( method_exists( $im, 'evaluateImage' ) )
       		//	$im->setImageOpacity( 1.0 );
       	 	$im->evaluateImage(Imagick::EVALUATE_MULTIPLY, 1.0, Imagick::CHANNEL_ALPHA);
       ```
