Quality determines the con- tour of the shadow's edges and its texture. e angle wheel repositions the shadow. A shadow can also be repositioned manu- ally by dragging the shadow in the image window to the desired position. • Inner Shadow (Fig. 7): A drop shadow is cast outward, away from the layer content; conversely, an inner shadow is cast inward from the edge, toward its center. Model your image with this style or use it to create inner depth. e set- tings are like the Drop Shadow for con- trolling the structure and quality of the effect. "Choke," a term used in the print- ing industry to indicate an inward expan- sion, replaces "Spread," a term for outward expansion. • Outer Glow (Fig. 8): is style pro- duces a glowing halo of light around the outermost edge of the content. e glow can be hard or soft depending on the set- tings you choose. • Inner Glow (Fig. 9): e best way to describe this effect is a soft-edged, light- colored stroke. Use Inner Glow to create a halo from the edge of the layer's con- tent inward. • Stroke (Fig. 10): is style creates an outline of a specific color and width around the layer content. • Bevel and Emboss (Fig. 11): The Bevel and Emboss style applies a highlight and a shadow to the layer content to cre- ate the illusion of three-dimensional relief. ere are five styles of embossing, each of which applies a different kind of con- toured edge. e sliders on the Structure field control the size, depth, and softness of the effect. Shading options control the shadow, color and gloss of the bevel. ere are checkboxes for contour and tex- ture that display controls to further refine the appearance of the bevel with several contour options. SURFACE STYLES ese styles affect the entire area of the layer content by applying specific fills: • Satin (Fig. 12): To produce the effect of light and shadow bouncing off a satiny Fig. 7. An inner shadow is cast inward from the edge toward its center. Fig. 8. Outer Glow produces a glowing halo of light around the outermost edge of the content. The glow can be hard or soft depending on the settings you choose. Fig. 9. An inner glow is a soft-edged, light-colored stroke that radiates inward. Fig. 10. Stroke creates an outline of a specific color and width around the layer content. Fig. 11. The Bevel and Emboss style applies a highlight and a shadow to the layer content to create the illusion of three-dimensional relief. Fig. 12. To produce the effect of light and shadow bouncing off a satiny surface, Photoshop applies a soft- edged shadow across the middle of the layer's content. Fig. 13. Adjust the color's opacity with the slider or apply a blend mode to further enhance the color. Fig. 14. Like Color Overlay, Gradient Overlay applies a gradient to the pixels on the layer.
