Shape Effects and Visual Styling
Apply 11 visual effects to shapes in infographic mode: drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, Gaussian blur, motion blur, colour overlay, noise, outline, emboss, and colour adjustments. Combine effects with 16 blend modes for professional visual styling.
Shape effects add professional visual depth to infographic elements. Eleven toggleable effect types, six colour adjustment controls, and 16 blend modes give you fine-grained control over how shapes appear on the canvas and in exported output.
Shadow Effects
Two shadow types add depth and dimension to shapes.
Glow Effects
Glow effects create luminous halos around or inside shapes.
Blur Effects
Two blur types soften shapes or add directional motion.
Colour and Overlay Effects
Tint shapes or add textured surfaces.
Surface Effects
Modify the shape boundary and surface appearance.
Colour Adjustments
Six colour correction controls are always available when a shape is selected. Unlike the toggle effects above, colour adjustments do not have an enable/disable switch and apply whenever their values differ from the defaults.
Blend Modes
Blend modes control how a shape composites with elements behind it. Sixteen standard CSS/SVG blend modes are available, applied to the entire shape including all active effects.
