At its core, BBTools Shadow allows you to select any layer — whether text, a raster image, a smart object, or a graphics element — and instantly create a shadow. Rather than relying on basic drop-shadow presets, this plugin gives you nuanced control over critical parameters: shadow angle, scale (length), blur/spread, opacity, and color. Want the shadow to cast at a dramatic low-angle “sunset” light? Or a soft, subtle ambient glow? You can dial in exactly what you need. For even more realism, BBTools Shadow includes a “Sun Position” mode: specify a reference point (like the sun’s location in your scene), and the plugin calculates the accurate shadow direction based on that. All changes are applied almost immediately — the plugin updates the shadow in real time, so you see exactly how each adjustment affects your composition.
