Shadow Tool Overview
CTRL+F2
This tool lets you apply, remove, and modify semitransparent (or "soft") shadows. The transparency of soft shadows increases towards the edges, which gives a very realistic effect. Shadows are resolution independent so you can scale them without losing quality.

Tip:
Applying a shadow to several objects:
If the objects are grouped, overlapping shadows merge (they do not get darker if they overlap).
If the objects are ungrouped, each object has a separate shadow. Overlapping areas of shadow are darker.
