Drop shadow effect

Add a drop shadow behind your object (or behind everything visible on a layer).

Use the distance and rotation to control how far the shadow is cast and in which direction, and the color to tint it. Enable Shadow only to hide the original image and keep just the shadow — useful for building fake ground shadows as separate objects.

Note

If the shadow looks cut off at the edges of the object, increase the Padding: it enlarges the area the effect is allowed to draw into.
