Modifying shadows
The Shadow Tool creates soft shadows, which fade out to totally transparent at the edges. This looks more realistic than a solid shadow.
What do you want to do?
Blur the edges of the shadow (change the size)
Change the size or direction of a shadow
Change the transparency of the center of the shadow
Change the color or fill effect of the shadow
Convert to editable shapes (for advanced editing)
Note:
Shadows created with the Shadow Tool use bitmap transparency to create the shadow effect. This means you cannot use the Transparency Tool to apply a transparency type to a shadow.
