Shadows

Creating realistic shadows has commonly been the realm of the bitmap graphics package. Xara Xtreme's Shadow Tool changes all that and lets you apply, remove, and modify semitransparent (or "soft") shadows to any object, with a single click.

There are three different shadow types to choose from - Wall, Floor and Glow. Wall shading produces drop shadow effects, the Floor option works like a sundial would and Glow creates a shadow effect around an object.

Any shadow you make can be manipulated in a number of ways, allowing you to change the color, blur, transparency and profile. Again, the Shadow tool takes advantage of the direct action feature.
