FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Outer Shadow and Inner Shadow?
- Solution: Outer Shadow is cast outside the text, making it appear to float above the background; Inner Shadow is cast on the inner edges of the text, making it appear embedded in the background. Outer Shadow is more commonly used, while Inner Shadow is suitable for special recessed effects.
Q2: What should I do if the shadow is too faint to see clearly?
- Solution: In the shadow settings panel, decrease the Transparency value (lower values mean less transparency), and increase the shadow Distance and Size to make the shadow more visible. Also ensure there is sufficient contrast between the shadow color and the background color.
Notes
- Shadow effects are suitable for titles and large text
- It is recommended to use a lighter shadow color on dark backgrounds
- The larger the shadow blur value, the softer and more natural the effect
