Effects styles

An element can have a drop shadow to provide visual flair.

Settings

The standard style settings apply, with color affecting the color of the shadow, opacity affecting how much of its background it obscures, blur affecting the dispersion of the shadow, and offset controlling what direction the shadow falls. It is generally considered good practice to have all shadows falling in roughly the same direction, or at the very least, away from light sources. You can have different shadow settings for different elements to give your comic a three dimensional feel.
