Transparency effects
InDesign offers nine transparency effects. Many of the settings and options for creating these effects are similar.
Effects
A. Drop Shadow B. Inner Shadow C. Outer Glow D. Inner Glow E. Bevel and Emboss F. Satin G. Basic Feather H. Directional Feather
I. Gradient Feather
Drop Shadow Adds a shadow that falls behind the object, stroke, fill, or text.
Inner Shadow Adds a shadow that falls just inside the edges of the object, stroke, fill, or text, giving it a recessed
appearance.
Outer Glow and Inner Glow Add glows that emanate from the outside or inside edges of the object, stroke, fill, or text.
Bevel and Emboss Adds various combinations of highlights and shadows to give text and images a three-dimensional
appearance.
Satin Adds interior shading that makes a satiny finish.
Basic Feather, Directional Feather, and Gradient Feather Soften the edges of an object by fading them to transparent.
