Drop Shadow effect

The Drop Shadow effect adds a shadow that appears behind the layer. The alpha channel of the layer determines the

shape of the shadow.

When you add a drop shadow to a layer, a soft-edged outline of the alpha channel of the layer appears behind it, as if

a shadow is cast on the background or underlying objects.

Drop Shadow can create a shadow outside the bounds of the layer. The quality setting of the layer affects the subpixel

positioning of the shadow and the smoothness of the soft edges of the shadow.

For some purposes, the Drop Shadow layer style is preferable to the Drop Shadow effect. (See “Layer styles” on

page 177.)

This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

To render the shadow without the image, select Shadow Only.

Note: To apply a drop shadow to a layer that rotates, rotate the layer using the Transform effect and then apply the Drop

Shadow effect. You can also use nesting, precomposing, or an adjustment layer to achieve this result. If you don’t use one

of these methods, the shadow rotates with the layer.

Radial Shadow effect

The Radial Shadow effect creates a shadow from a point light source over the layer it’s applied to, rather than from an

infinite light source (as with the Drop Shadow effect). The shadow is cast from the alpha channel of the source layer,

allowing the color of that layer to influence the color of the shadow as light passes through semitransparent areas. You

can use this effect to make a 3D layer appear to cast a shadow onto a 2D layer.

This effect works with 8-bpc color.

Shadow Color The color of the shadow.

Note: The colors of the layer may override this option if you choose Glass Edges from the Render control menu. See the

Render and Color Influence controls for more information.

Opacity The opacity of the shadow.

Light Source The location of the point light source.
