iOS views - how to remove excessive shadow?

I have a UIViewController that I'm nesting inside another UIViewController (iOS 4.3+),

it is displayed just fine except one thing - a lot of excessive shadow. I have tried removing it with setShadowRadius etc, but no luck..

This is the code I use to create it:

RDPreviewViewController* preview = [[[RDPreviewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RDPreviewViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]] autorelease];

[preview.view.layer setShadowOpacity:0.0];
[preview.view.layer setShadowRadius:0.0];
[preview.view.layer setColor:nil];
[preview.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 100, 320, 264)];

[self.mainView addSubview:preview.view];

And here's the result:

enter image description here

How do I remove it?

I suspect - and this is a theory - that given what you've said that somehow your PNG image with the subtle shadow is being loaded multiple times. This is why your shadow appears much darker than you're expecting - several identical PNGs are being overlaid on top of each other.

The reason I think this is the case is that judging from the code you've posted you're not programatically applying a shadow, and views do not have a shadow by default. Of course, perhaps you are adding a shadow in your code elsewhere, but based on my own experience I think it looks as if somehow the same view (your image view) is getting added multiple times.

It might be helpful if you shared more of your code, if possible.
