Create a Rectangle that is the size of the "selected" frame - you can duplicate the original shape and empty it.

Duplicate your image and add shadow.

Paste Into your duplicated image into the new Rectangle / duplicated shape - and align it with the original image.

Position your newly created Rectangle / duplicated shape below your original image.

Or in other words - use a container to limit the visibility of the object and applied effects - crop.

Thank you for that elaborate solution, smart! I was hoping there was some setting built in but this will absolutely do. 🙂
