Unable to create a light / white shadow (outer white glow)

[Tepi]

I have noticed that the bright white outer shadow "outer glow" either does not exist or is faint.

Seems to work OK here

Can you upload a screenshot of what you are seeing, with the FX dialogue open?

Hi @Tepi,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Seems you are using the Outer Shadow effect for this (you can use the Outer Glow as well). If that's the case make sure you set the Blend mode to Normal or Screen, check the Opacity value and increase the Intensity as required to see the white "glow".

Thank you, I'll check it in a moment.

Outer glow is ok, just how to change the angle?

The Shadow FX has a specific offset setting/tool but the Outer Glow does not.

You can simulate moving the Outer Glow by adding a duplicate of the object and adding the glow to that, then moving that object.  (Note: The gaussian blur layer is added to simulate the Outer Glow effect throughout the duplicated object.)

But it all depends on the effect you are looking to achieve. If you can upload a sample of what you want, you may get more targeted/specific advice.

There's no angle option in the Outer Glow FX. But you can use the Outer Shadow effect to simulate the same effect. See screenshot below (left Outer Glow, right Outer Shadow with angle/offset.

Wielkie dzięki wszystkim za pomoc. Teraz już wiem, gdzie mogę zrobić jasny cień. O to mi chodziło.
