outershadow.

Is there a way of making an outer shadow around the whole graphic item instead of just one angle?
Thank you

A shadow is directional ie the light source comes from a specific direction to cast it.

Do you want a ‘glow’ instead?

Would that give me the raised feel too? I did not see that it did

You can glow with a dark color, or you can try setting the shadow to a
distance of 1 or 0 at 90° and a fade radius of 12 or so. That’s what I
do in Photoshop.

Julie - in Freeway, in the Inspector set the Shadow to Offset: 0 and Blur 16 and try from there.

Try increasing Opacity: 90% or 100% and make your graphic item Type: PNG - Colors: Millions for best transparency over background.
