Adjusting the Drop Shadow of an Object
Once an object’s drop shadow is enabled, the onscreen drop shadow control points
can be used to change the blur, angle, and distance of an object’s drop shadow.
To adjust the drop shadow of an object in the Canvas:
1 In the object’s Dashboard or Properties tab, make sure Drop Shadow is turned on.
2 Click the Select/Transform tool, then choose the Adjust Drop Shadow tool from the
pop-up menu.
3 Drag one of the four corner handles to adjust the blur of the drop shadow. Drag within
the shadow’s bounding box to adjust the distance and angle of the drop shadow.
For more information on working with drop shadows, see “
Drop Shadows” on
page 269.
