Adding a shadow to an object
You can introduce depth to an image by
applying a shadow to an object or a
group of objects. To add a shadow,
select Object: Shadow (or right-click
an object and select Shadow).
In the dialog box, you can control the
direction, length, transparency, edge
blending, and color of the shadow.
Separating a shadow from its object
Separating a shadow and making it as a
separate object from its original image is
easy. To do this, select Object: Split
Shadow or right-click an object and
select Split Shadow. The shadow now
becomes a new object whose attributes
you can modify such as changing the
color or applying a painting texture.
Note: Split Shadow is disabled when
multiple objects are selected.
