Adjusting the Drop Shadow of an Object

Once an object’s drop shadow is enabled, the onscreen drop shadow handles can be
used to change the blur, angle, and distance of an object’s drop shadow.

To adjust the drop shadow of an object in the Canvas:

1

Click and hold the Select/Transform tool, then choose the Adjust Drop Shadow tool
from the pop-up menu.

2

In the Canvas, drag one of the four corner handles to adjust the blur of the drop
shadow.

Drag within the shadow’s bounding box to adjust the distance and angle of the drop
shadow.

For more information on working with drop shadows, see “
