Pointed Shadows
Pointed Shadows
I would like for SCAL2 to be able to make a shadow that doesn't round the edge of pointed images. On another cutting software, I saw an option for beveled shadows. If the original image is pointed, it keeps the point on the shadow layers. This looks a lot better than rounded edges. Without this option, it seems impossible to make a good shadow for an image like a heart.

You now have three options with the 2.011 update. These work with both Shadow and Shadow Blackout.

Re: Pointed Shadows
Wow, Heather, great minds think alike! LOL I hadn't see this question or your answer when I made my post about the new shadow options. My illustration looks almost exactly like yours!
Re: Pointed Shadows
Thanks so much for sharing this! It's just what I was hoping they would add!
