Greetings Sergey,
How can I improve the shadow rendering quality behind an image.
(Also can I possibly improve image sharpness/smoothness?)

What's the image format? Please send me this image, or this RVF file.

I see you already answered this here: https://www.trichview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=89

We are still playing with it but this seems to help a lot. (I'm using Delphi7)

Is this picture scaled?
In the current version of TRichView, the components provide smooth scaling of images, but only for opaque images.
If the image is semitransparent (it looks like your image is a PNG image with alpha channel, am I right?), TRichView uses the standard image scaling (the image is drawn using PngImage.StretchDraw).
