Answer 1

I suppose to cut the main image into the number of images you need, save as separate images and separately add shadows, then create an empty image of the desired size and place all the necessary images in it. And all this using php.

Shadows are made with CSS. Here's a utility to make things easier: link .

In general, no way.
1. Make the template ready with a bottom layer
2. Use external editors https
