How do I use the Inner/Outer Glow, Inner Shadow, and Color Gradient features when editing photo layers in CyberLink PhotoDirector 365?

The Inner/Outer Glow, Inner Shadow, and Color Gradient features helps you add glow, shadow, or color gradient effects on text, objects, or images you added as layers when editing a photo. 

For instance, to add the Inner/Outer Glow, Inner Shadow, or Color Gradient effects on text that you would like to put in a photo, do this:

  1. Click Edit on PhotoDirector launcher, and then select a photo to edit in the Expert module. 
  2. Click to add text on the photo as a new upper layer, and then click  on the added text layer in the layers panel to enter Layer Properties window. 
  3. Select the Inner/Outer Glow, Inner Shadow, or Color Gradient feature to add the effects on the text layer.
  4. Adjust the Color, Light Source, Opacity, Size, etc. options to configure the effect if required.
  5. Click OK to save the adjustment on the layer.
