Applying effects 423
To add a drop shadow to the entire image, you must first create white
space around the image. You can do this by choosing the Add Borders
command or the Canvas Size command from the Image menu. You
can access the Drop Shadow dialog box by choosing Effects
3D Effects Drop Shadow.
The Drop Shadow dialog box contains the following controls:
• Vertical — determines the height of the shadow. You can also set
the height by dragging the crosshair end of the offset indicator
line in the left side of the dialog box.
• Horizontal — determines the width of the shadow. You can also
set the width by dragging the crosshair end of the offset indicator
line in the left side of the dialog box.
• Opacity — determines the shadow’s opacity. As this value
decreases, the drop shadow fades.
• Blur — determines the blur of the shadow
• Color — lets you choose the color of the drop shadow. You can
click the color box to choose a color from the Color dialog box, or
right-click the color box to choose a color from the Recent Colors
dialog box.
• Shadow on new layer — places the drop shadow on a separate
raster layer
You can apply an effect similar to the Drop Shadow effect by choosing
