Settings
The following settings are shown when the effect is selected in the Layer FX Studio.
- Radius—controls the extent of the effect.
- Link Radius and Depth—when enabled, adjusting Radius will change Depth at the same time.
- Depth—sets the depth of the effect.
- Soften—blurs the shadows and highlights.
- Opacity—controls the transparency of the effect.
- Profile—defines how the light is applied and sculpts the ridges, valleys, and bumps that are shaded in the process. Tap on the curve to add a node, drag a node or portion of the curve to shape it.
- Enable—switches the effect on or off for before-and-after comparison.
- Linear—when enabled, the graduation between two nodes in the profile is linear (i.e. uses straight lines). If this option is off, profile nodes are connected using smooth curves.
- Ambient—sets the intensity of ambient light. Colour sets the ambient light colour.
- Specular—sets the intensity of specular colour reflected from the surface when lit by the Light source. A high setting will give a gloss appearance, while a low setting will give a matt appearance. Colour sets the specular light colour.
- Shininess—sets the amount of specular colour reflected from the surface when lit by the Light Source. A high setting gives sharper highlights, while a low setting will give widespread highlights.
- Diffuse—sets the amount of diffuse colour reflected from the surface when lit by the Light Source. A high setting will give a matt appearance, while a low setting will give a gloss appearance.
- Light Source—select a light source from the list. You can then adjust the settings below for the currently selected light source.
- Add—applies an additional light source to the effect.
- Delete—deletes the selected light source. If there is only one light source it cannot be removed.
- Duplicate—makes a new light source as a copy of the currently selected light source.
- Azimuth—defines the direction of the current light source, shadow or gradient.
- Elevation—defines the 'height' of the current light source.
- Colour—sets the colour of the current light source.
