Examples

The following code demonstrates support for the PsdImage.GlobalAngle property to change the global angle value.

[C#]

// When DropShadowEffect.UseGlobalLight property is 'true', then DropShadowEffect object use angle value from PsdImage.GlobalAngle property.

using (PsdImage image = (PsdImage)Image.Load("4.psd"))
{
    image.GlobalAngle = 30;
    image.Save("output.psd");
}

The following code demonstrates using the Opacity property of DropShadowEffect.

[C#]

string inputFile = "input.psd";
string outputImage20 = "outputImage20.png";
string outputImage200 = "outputImage200.png";

using (PsdImage psdImage = (PsdImage)Image.Load(inputFile, new LoadOptions()))
{
    Layer workLayer = psdImage.Layers[1];

    DropShadowEffect dropShadowEffect = workLayer.BlendingOptions.AddDropShadow();
    dropShadowEffect.Distance = 0;
    dropShadowEffect.Size = 8;

    // Example with Opacity = 20
    dropShadowEffect.Opacity = 20;
    psdImage.Save(outputImage20, new PngOptions());

    // Example with Opacity = 200
    dropShadowEffect.Opacity = 200;
    psdImage.Save(outputImage200, new PngOptions());
}
