✨ Shadows & Highlights — What’s the Difference?
📌 Understanding these two essential properties
🖤 Shadow adds depth by simulating areas where light is blocked.
🤍 Highlight adds realism by showing where light hits the surface.
They work best together — shadows define form, highlights bring it to life.
⚙️ Where to find them
When you create a new project, both Shadow and Highlight properties are added automatically to every base layer.
Want to change them?
Just click on the layer → select Shadow or Highlight → go to the Drawing Tools tab to edit them manually
✍️ Manual Editing
Each property includes:
Brush — paint where you want effect
Eraser — remove or soften
Color and Opacity settings — adjust lightness, warmth, transparency
You can create custom lighting by placing shadows and highlights exactly where folds or curves would naturally be.
💡 Tips:
Don’t overuse both! Too much light + shadow can look messy.
For shiny fabrics, boost highlights and keep shadows soft.
For matte fabrics, skip highlights or use them sparingly.
