Revolutionize your image editing process with Crop.photo's AI-powered drop shadow feature. No more manual labor of applying drop shadows one by one - now you can effortlessly enhance a bulk or batch of images with just a few clicks.

Why add drop shadows?

Experience the transformative power of drop shadows in your images. This dynamic effect adds depth, dimension, and a touch of realism to make your subjects truly stand out from their backgrounds.

How to add Drop shadows?

You can easily specify shadow direction by controlling the horizontal and vertical offsets, along with blur control to make your subjects appear slightly elevated from the background.

See the image below:

Understanding different Drop Shadow settings

  1. Horizontal offset - The horizontal offset property determines the distance of the shadow from the object horizontally. Positive values move the shadow to the right, while negative values move it to the left. Experiment with different values to position the shadow precisely where you want it.

  2. Vertical offset - Similar to the horizontal offset, the vertical offset property controls the distance of the shadow from the object vertically. Positive values move the shadow downwards, while negative values move it upwards. Adjust this property to control the vertical position of the shadow.

  3. Blur - The blur property determines the softness or sharpness of the shadow edges. Higher values result in a more diffused and feathered shadow, while lower values produce a sharper shadow. Use this property to achieve the desired level of blur for a realistic or stylized effect.

  4. Scaling factor - The scaling factor property allows you to adjust the size of the shadow in relation to the object. Increase the scaling factor to create a larger shadow and decrease it for a smaller shadow. Experiment with different values to find the right balance between the object and its shadow.

  5. Color - The color property allows you to choose the color of the shadow. You can specify a predefined color or customize it using RGB or hexadecimal values. Consider the overall aesthetic of your image and the desired mood when selecting the shadow color.

Tips for Usage

  • Start with subtle values and make incremental adjustments to achieve the desired effect.

  • Experiment with different combinations of properties to create unique shadow styles.

  • Experiment with different shadow directions, colors, and intensities to visualize the effects before applying them to a large batch.
