New Contest! The Case of the Inexplicable Drop Shadow

Hey folks, it’s time for another InDesign mystery that you can solve for a chance to win an awesome prize!

Here’s the scenario: 

You open up an InDesign layout containing a placed image of a poster. The image has a drop shadow that you’d like to adjust.

image from freevintageposters.com

But when you select the image with the Selection tool and look in the Effects panel, no drop shadow effect is listed.

Nor is there any drop shadow in the image file.

The image is a simple JPEG, placed by itself into a regular rectangular image frame, alone on the page.

Where is this drop shadow coming from?
