| Summary | 0010273: Can you please develop a Soft Blurred Drop Shadow effect for Scribus | ||||
| Description | You have a brilliant product here. I only offer my suggestion for creating a better program with the features that Designers are after. I use drop shadows for text and as well for graphics with an alpha channel. I am sure there are some designers who don't generally use this feature, but I would say that I am one of many who do use this feature. Please can someone develop this into Scribus. You will gain so many users by adding this feature. As a Graphic Designer this is a feature that I use in many of my publications and have used for many years in Indesign. I see there was one person who has already tried and had some success, however it no longer works due to version upgrades, please see following link... http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/moonshiner/2009/05/31/soft-shadows-in-scribus/ If the function had a setting for OPACITY and BLUR strength and SPREADING (how far the shadow is enlargened from the original size) and then your X,Y OFFSETS and SHADOW COLOUR, that would be brilliant as a start. You could then develop the drop shadow blending properties in later upgrades. There are probably other ways you could tell me to go about getting the same results but I wish this could be a simple feature built into Scribus which can be used for Text and for objects as well Please, if this function was built into Scribus I could finally give up Indesign and Microsoft and come over to Scribus on Linux which is what I really want to do. I hope this can be taken on, for the good of your project. | ||||
