Kikudjira Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello everybody! I can’t find the answer to my question :( Can I convert the shadow effect in Affinity Designer to a raster by saving the object itself in a vector and subsequently get two objects? So then I can merge only shadow with the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 You could create a duplicate of the object fill it with whatever colour you want your shadow to be and use the gaussian blur fx to create a shadow.

Kikudjira Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thank you for the answer! Yes, this method is obvious. It is a pity that there is no similar functionality, as in Illustrator. When, there are a lot of such objects, then this is not very convenient when preparing for printing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Here is another technique that is probably more to the OP's liking @Kikudjira Create a vector shape, so lets stay with the donut Add an Outer Shadow and configure to your flava.. Uncheck the fill knocks out shadow... ...and drop the Fill Opacity to 0% You should be left with just the shadow and the vector hidden but editable.
