Drop Shadow

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 58
This effect creates a black plane behind the selected media file texture on a flat rectangular
object. You can bring the plane from behind positioning it to form a drop shadow. You won't see
the shadow until you select a Modifier 1 or 2 DMX value above or below 128 (50%).
Modifier 1: The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint
move the "shadow" right as you approach 0 = maximum horizontal shadow width. Values above
the midpoint move the "shadow" left to a maximum horizontal shadow width at a value of 255
(100%)
Modifier 2: The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint
move the "shadow" down as you approach 0 = maximum vertical shadow width. Values above
the midpoint move the "shadow" up to a maximum vertical shadow width at a value of 255
(100%)
Modifier 3: Adjusts the shadow's opacity from 0 = full opacity to 255 (100%) = maximum
transparency.
Tip: To ensure that the shadow remains black and is unaffected by other graphic effects, apply it
as the last effect selected for an image.
