Drop Shadow w/fireworks

Is there any easy way to add drop shadows with FW. I do have a demo copy of the program so I don't know if i have all the 'filters'

He'll know :wink:

I'm not very good in fireworks. I've just started learning it about 2 weeks before. The learning curve is not as steep as Photoshop's so I sort of grasped it rather quickly. Besides, I've been using Flash And Dreamweaver for months.

ok. here are the steps.

1. Select the object you want to apply a drop shadow to

2. Under the properties panel ( almost said palette :razz: ), at the 'effects' section, press the '+' button.

3. After clicking +, you will see a list of effects. What you wanted is drop shadow... so, under the shadow and glow submenu, select 'drop shadow'

4. You might want to change some parameters. Such as the transparency setting of the shadow, the softness, angle, etc. Experiment with them and you'll have a clear idea how they work.

Good luck!

I dont have a properties panel on my software (its a demo)

I don't think that it is related to you having a demo version. I believe you have closed it accidentally...

Select Window at the menu and click Properties. The keyboard shortcut is a CMD+F3 on Mac or a CTRL+F3 on a PC.
