FAQ
Why use multiple layers instead of one shadow?
Layered shadows often look softer and more realistic because they spread depth across several lighter values instead of one harsh edge.
Can I still use one layer only?
Yes. You can set the opacity of unused layers to zero and keep the output minimal.
