: : : : : Is it possible to shadow images as you can in Photoshop, to give the glow affect, in illustrator? : : : : The easiest way to simulate Photoshop-like shadows in Illustrator is with KPT Vector Effects by : : : : : MetaTools. It automatically creates a variety of vector-based shadows via preset styles and manipulation : : : : : of cool controls until you find just the effect you're seeking! Check out the MetaTools web site for more : : : : : information. (Vector Effects also works with Freehand.) : : : : Another different type of plug-in is Alien Skin's Stylist, which quickly changes any object in Illustrator : : : : : to a preset style. (It's tough for me to explain the full range of this plug-in; I recommend checking out : : : : : Alien Skin's web site as well!) : : : : Hope this helps! : : : : Peace, : : : : : -Gina
