Add Inner Shadow Option to Shadow Tool

[graphika]

I have enjoyed the shadow capabilities of Xara and its ability to add a Wall (drop), floor or Glow shadow to any object in Xara, including text and photos. However, one shadow option has been missing and that is the Inner shadow.

I've been working around this limitation by creating knockout shapes and then adding a glow or wall shadow and then cutting out the shape. But this doesn't give you the best control of the inner shadow effect. In extreme cases, i'll add Photoshop to my workflow to get the effect. However, I always lose fidelity as the shape is now raster-based.

Xara, if you're listening, please add Inner Shadow to your already great product!!!

+1. You can fake the effect but having it as an option would be a very nice addition indeed.

it would save time

meanwhile some examples of current ways of doing it:

If you upgraded to the current versions of either DPX or P&GD 2013 the eraser tool can be used to create a pretty decent inner glow effect and you can by adjusting the eraser softness settings have a fair bit of control.

Inner shadow will be very helpful.
