Eye Candy 5: Impact - Perspective Shadow Filter Examples

Here are a variety of perspective shadows. By taking color from the selection, the filter can also create reflections. Using a custom shadow color for the glass star, it appears as though light is passing through the star to cast a colored shadow.

Perspective Shadow

The Perspective Shadow filter (formerly named Shadowlab) allows you to easily create 3D perspective shadows, drop shadows, cast shadows, and reflections. Shadows can be placed in front or behind objects, and in-preview controls allow you to adjust the size, shape, and position of the shadows simply by dragging in the preview window. Controls allow you to manipulate the shadow mode (drop or perspective shadow), center offset, opacity, overall blur, perspective blur, fade out amount, and shadow color (solid or reflected from the selection). In some situations, the shadow effect can be rendered to a new layer.
