3.In OffsetX and OffsetY, specify the offset of the drop shadow from the object along the x or y axis

4.In Blur, set the outer boundary of the blur from the edge of the shadow. Note: if offset is 0, and blur is non zero, it creates a glow effect.

6.In B and tint, select the color and the tint for the soft drop shadow, ie. to which color it has to blend.

7.In Blend, select the blending method, and in %, select the percentage.
