Frequently asked questions

How do I make a soft, realistic shadow?

Use several layers with low opacity: a short, sharp one and a long, blurred one. The 'Soft layered' preset already does that.

What is an inner shadow (inset)?

It's a shadow drawn inside the element, giving the impression that it's sunken. Check the 'Inset' option on the layer.
