Shadow Settings

The effect uses two successive channels. You can adjust
the position and density of the shadow with respect to the
image, and the color of the shadow. The channel with the
largest number (for example, Ch2 in the case of Ch1 and
Ch2) becomes the shadow.
Notes
When the Combiner function is off, the shadow effect
cannot be used.
Applying the Drop Shadow effect
The Shadow menu allows you to apply the Drop Shadow
effect. To access the Shadow menu, in the Global Effect
>Ch1 - Ch4 menu select HF3 'Shadow.'
Depending on the selected combiner channels, the valid
buttons differ as follows.
