Hikinb Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Can you consider the multi-layer effects only available in Photoshop, which I need very much when making some ICONS?However, there is no such function in all kinds of vector drawing software. Even in AI, it can only add one layer of shadow to the graph, but in order to achieve realistic effect, more than two layers of shadow must be added.So I had to work back and forth exporting the graphics to PSD.It's very inconvenient.

carl123 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Add a shadow to the object. Group the object Add a shadow to the group Group the group Add another shadow to the grouped group etc etc etc Is this what you want or something else?

GarryP Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Welcome to the forums @Hikinb As carl123 said above, you can apply more than one Effect to a layer by putting the layer in a Group and applying a new Effect to the Group. However, the new Effect – the one added to the Group – will also act upon the original Effect, but that may or may not be a problem depending on what you are doing. See my attached image where the original silhouette has a grey shadow, the group the silhouette is in has a red shadow and all that is grouped again, this time with a blue shadow applied. If there is a way to stop this from happening then I’m sure someone will explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
