TheRogue Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi Guys / Girls I'm a brand new user (from today!) over from AI after 20 yrs, since that subscription model doesn't suit me as a single user 'advanced hobbyist'. Affinity Designer by the way is so cool. My AI was getting less and less functional with every release of OS X. My question - AI had an easily applied Drop Shadow in its effects filter drop down which I used all the time, especially with text. That doesn't exist in AD. fair enough, it may appear. But is there an efective workround? Also must say can't wait until Artboards make an appearance. Thanks in advance people!

Staff MEB Posted October 8, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi Steve, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Select the text object then, at the bottom of the Layers panel there's an FX icon, click on it to open the Layer Effects dialog. The effect you're looking for is the Outer Shadow. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
