Adds a drop shadow to the layer. You can change the scale, distance and appearance of the shadow, or choose to render the shadow without the layer.
- Preset: Choose from one of the built-in shadow configurations.
- Angle: Sets the angle at which the shadow will be offset from the layer’s center
- Distance: Choose the distance, in pixels, of the shadow’s offset from the layer position.
- Shadow Color: Choose a color for the shadow. You can use the eyedropper to choose a color from the viewer, or click the swatch to open a color picker and choose any color you prefer. You can also manually enter the color values for the red, green, and blue channels.
- Opacity: Adjust how transparent the shadow is. 0.00 is completely transparent, and 1.00 is completely opaque.
- Scale: Adjusts the size of the shadow, as a percentage of the source layer’s size. Values below 1.00 will be smaller than the source layer, values above 1.00 will be larger than the source layer.
- Scale Pivot: Offsets the origin point from which the shadow is scaled.
- Penumbra: Adjusts the width, in pixels, of the feathered edge of the shadow.
- Shadow Only: Enabling this option hides the layer, and renders only the shadow.
