Basic (left) and skewed shadows (right) applied to a basic
square QuickShape
Adjustment of shadow colour, opacity, blur, and scaling/distance is possible
using controllable nodes directly on the page (or via a supporting Shadow
context toolbar). Nodes can be dragged inwards or outwards from the shadow
origin to modify the shadow's blur and opacity. For a different colour, pick a
new colour from the Colour or Swatches tab while the tool is selected.
Depending on if a basic or skewed shadow is required, the origin can exist in the
centre (shown) or at the edge of an object, respectively.
(A) Blur, (B) Shadow origin, (C) Opacity, (D) Colour, (E) Scaling
Once you've created a shadow, you can also fine-tune it as needed using the
Filter Effects dialog.
