Drop Shadow
Settings
Distance Specifies the distance between the drop shadow and the
text. The higher the value, the farther the shadow and the
higher the text appears.
If a drop shadow is cut off, or has a noticeably sharp edge,
you may need to increase the size of the text rectangle.
Blur Specifies the amount of blur applied to the drop shadow.
Sharp shadows tend to seem less realistic than those with a
slight blur.
Opacity Specifies the darkness of the drop shadow where it falls on
the image.
Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that
creates the drop shadow. Drag the arrow to adjust the angle
- note that this also adjusts the shading of the text bevel.
Bevel Settings Bevel Specifies how much of each letter's edge is bevelled. Higher
values give the text a more rounded, smoother look.
Strength Specifies the difference between the highest and lowest
points on the text. Higher values heighten the difference
between the flat portions of the text and the bevelled edges.
Elevation Specifies the height of the imaginary light source that
creates the bevel's shadowed effect. Lower values produce
longer shadows on the text, while a higher value produces a
more direct lighting effect and shorter shadows.
Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that
creates the bevel effect. Drag the arrow to adjust the angle -
note that this also adjusts the angle of the drop shadow.
