David Brear Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Am I right in thinking that I can only have drop shadows with text, where the background isn't coloured? Certainly that's the way it seems to work here (Version 2.4.2). I can add a shadow to text with the default transparent background - but if I then change to a coloured background the shadow transfers to the layer - - which is pretty annoying, and has just wasted an hour of my time! Or am I, as usual, wrong?? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The Drop Shadow is an effect for the object, and the object is a Text Frame. When it has no Fill, the only things that could cast a shadow are the letters, but once you add the Fill, the Fill also casts a shadow. You could use a separate Rectangle, below that Text Frame, and color it. firstdefence 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
