For a POS system I worked on years ago we had a preview of the report show up on the screen and did the same thing. The person who did the preview JPG's was doing that in Paint, eventually I created 3 JPG files I would rotate through as I copied them of the bottom of each report
I eventually got tired of looking at it, and changed it to use a gradient fill to have the bottom of the report fade to black. Users thought it looked more professional. Pretty sure I used Fireworks to create the effect.

It looks like a torn paper and some drop shadow underneath. Currently I'm doing it by hand by cutting a region using lasso tool, then drop shadow on the edge, but it's a long process. I was directed to snagit which does is in a single move. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:profoxtech- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Lukachko > Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 10:47 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [NF] Looking for a graphic tool which can do this > > Do you have a preview option for your reports?
