Shadow Photoshop Extension Panel UI Controls:
- Angle: the angle of the shadow
- Scale: the length of the shadow. It’s a relative value based upon the object size and it varies from shadow angle. Sharp angles make longer shadows.
- Blur: shadow dispersion amount in pixels
- Opacity: the opacity of the shadow
- Color: the color of the shadow. Usually outside on a sunny day shadows tend to have a bluish tint.
- Sun Position: it’s a feature that calculates angle of the shadow based on the relative position of the object from the Sun (point created using the Pen tool in Photoshop).
- Auto-update: triggers the shadow creation process when one of the above parameters are changed. It makes it easier to get a desired look of the shadow.
- Bonus feature: Shadow parameters are saved in the current session of the Photoshop even if the panel is closed and re-opened later.
