The Shadow Tool
The SHADOW Tool (shortcut "Ctrl + F2") lets you apply, remove, and modify
semi-transparent (or "soft") shadows.
The transparency of soft shadows increases towards the edges, which gives a very
realistic effect. Shadows are resolution independent so you can scale them without losing
quality.
