I am really missing better Blur / Shadow control in Effects. With only Opacity and color I am not really able to create smoother and wider drop shadows. It would be great to have control over this like for example Keynote has. With Offset and Angle. …just a suggestion to consider.

You can create pretty complex reusable shadows in the Theme Studio (or by selecting custom) inside Elements, check this out:

Damn, I knew I saw it somewhere in the tutorials 😉 I searched the Forum for Blur and not much came up so I gave a shot ;-( I guess I still have a long way ahead.

Thanks as always Dan. Feels like 1-1 support 😉 Much appreciated with all the help even while tuning the Elements 3 Betas.
