Igor Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi,We're rewriting code of the Shadow window.Do you create and use your Templates of a shadow? Can we remove this feature?Do you create several templates or you simply need to save only one preset to use it by default?See attached screenshots below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Never used that option myself Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Igor,Yes, I use it. It's something to me that sets PTE apart from the competition. I create several - for different type shows....What I have used it for is to create presets. For example, when I want to have identical shadows behind slides which are presented over a textured background I set the first one to give me exactly the size, direction and opacity and having the template I can instantly apply it to subsequent slides without writing down the settings and applying them individually to each slide - It's been a great timesaver for me. for example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak101 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am not one of your power users, so I do not use it really often. It is a time saver that I appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt49 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I also have a few standard settings for my shadows, and I can make a choice from my list of drop shadow templates. Indeed, templates as time savers.Question: Will future shadows allow key points?Regards,jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donfoster Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I use this feature a lot, I would not like to see it withdrawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks for your responses!We'll think how to better implement editor of these template in the new code.Question: Will future shadows allow key points?Not yet. Shadow is static and doesn't support keyframing. But we plan to rework this code in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUR Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi,I use it very often, as templates for text.MUR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonemason Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I also use this very often for text and would not want to see it go. The one I use the most is Cove Shallow, I find it very useful when slide titles need to be shown, and once set-up it re-sizes dynamically when different text is needed and provides a nice semitransparent box for the text to sit in.

gogs Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I also use this fairly regularly for both text and objects where I want to have consistency with the shadow effect through a show.Gogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyKay Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have used it occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevans Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I use the drop shadow facility for text all the time. However I have never saved a particular setting as a preset but use the range of standard shadows created a long time ago by The Dom. However now I have seen the facility to save a particular shadow arrangement, I will probably use it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cèlou Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Good EveningLike many people I use quite often this function for separating the bottom, images, objects, texts etc.Although not essential, it would be very unfortunate to remove.
