Before adding a highlight using version 7

Please Note this process has changed slightly with version 9 see below

The above highlight was created by drawing an ellipse as a vector, converting the vector layer to a raster layer, using the magic wand to select the area outside the ellipse, inverting the selection, contracting the selection by 1 pixel, and finally applying a drop shadow to the selection.
