The following settings are shown on the Effects panel:
- Colour—sets the colour of the effect. Click the colour box to choose the colour from the pop-up panel.
- Opacity—controls the transparency of the effect.
- Radius—controls the extent of the effect.
- Offset—changes the distance between the layer content and the effect.
- Offset Tool—click to enable simultaneous editing of angle and offset. Drag on the layer content to set the angle and offset. Press the to stop using the tool and set the angle and offset independently of each other again.
- Angle—defines the direction of the light source, shadow or gradient.
Layer Effects—provides access to the Layer Effects dialog for more advanced settings and controls.
The following advanced settings can be adjusted in the Layer Effects dialog:
- Blend mode—changes how the effect interacts with content below the current layer.
- Intensity—determines how much the radius of the effect is blurred.
- Scale with Object—when selected, the effect scales in proportion to the layer contents if the content is resized. If this option is off, the effect's scale remains unchanged when the layer content is resized.
- Fill Opacity—sets the opacity of the layer contents without affecting the applied effects.
