Changing the shadow profile
After applying a shadow you can change how the shadow transparency changes across the blur. You can have a linear transition (which usually gives the most realistic results) or a profiled transition.
 To change the shadow profile
 To change the shadow profile
1. Create the shadow - see Applying a shadow.
2. In the Shadow Tool click Profile. This opens the profile dialog box.
3. You either select a predefined profile from the drop-down list or drag the sliders to create a custom profile. The top option in the drop-down list (the straight line) creates a linear transition.
When creating a custom profile:
Move the top slider towards:
-1 for more change at the inner edge of the shadow.
+1 for more change at the outer edge.
Move the bottom slider towards:
-1 for more change in the center than at the edges.
+1 for more change at the edges.
Tip:
 If you have several shadowed objects selected, any changes apply to all the shadows.
