Drop shadows
You can add a drop shadow for any object you create in the Monitor panel. A drop shadow makes an object appear
three-dimensional so it stands out from the background image. For example, adding a drop shadow to text can make
the text more legible when superimposed over a complex background image.
To create a drop shadow:
1. Select an object and then click the Color Properties
button.
2. In the Color Properties dialog box, select the Drop
Shadow option (Figure 19).
3. Set any of the following:
Angle: Specifies the angle of the shadow in relation to
the object.
Distance: Specifies the number of pixels the shadow is
offset from the object.
Softness: Specifies how blurry or sharp the shadow
appears.
