BeverlyE Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Is there a way to create a drop shadow? I've tried using fx but can't get anything to look even close to a drop shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 13, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi BeverlyE, Tap the Layer FX Studio, then select/enable Outer Shadow. Set the options you want from the context toolbar on bottom.

BeverlyE Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 MEB, I was able to get a shadow inside the object but haven't gotten anything outside the object even when using "outer shadow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. Can you check that when you have ticked the outer shadow, it is also highlighted (blue). That's where I got fooled sometimes.

BeverlyE Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks! Somehow I got it to work this time!! Madame, I'm on the iPad Pro but seeing your blend mode helped me figure it out! Madame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeverlyE Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 For anyone else having difficulty creating a drop shadow or any other FX, you must tap on the words "outer shadow" to access the controls. That's what I was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
