Seanyboy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I know that it is early days so probably this is in a thought process anyhow Is there going to be a proper shadow tool as there is in DrawPlus with all the clickable handles as such. I found the only way to suss out shadows was via the FX tab and it seemed limited at first to just 100px until I messed about and found that the "Offset tool" provides a lot more freedom. Though not much tooltip explanation as yet! Quote MacBookPro 15-inch mid 2010 intel core I7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.

Staff TonyB Posted June 11, 2014 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2014 The offset tool is the tool you should be using at the moment. I agree that the tool should be more obvious and have a better tool tip. We can improve the tool as we go. We must try and not add too many tools in the toolbar if we can achieve the same effect without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanyboy Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I was just asking really! as I mention -early days. I have had the beta just 1 hour and have not really gotten round to reading the help files as yet. This was just a quick observation, nothing more. Thanks for your reply.

Talking about the >offset tool< is it by design or flaw, that the tool only is available in the >effects tab< and not when you double-click the >fx icon< in the >layers tab< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
