[Overprinting Drop Shadows]

As I look at this further, it appears that FusionPro is using the gray value of the color to cast the darkness of the shadow.

 

In my opinion, this is a wrong way to approach this.

 

Why would solid cyan type cast a lighter shadow that solid magenta type?

 

If light where hitting solid cyan and solid magenta type in the same area, wouldn't the letters cast the same value of black in the drop shadow?

 

Thank you,

Thanks David,

 

I'm already doing that but I was hoping a future update could correct this phenomenon. It makes no sense to me that yellow type cast a black drop shadow but white type cast no shadow. I also made the text 5% black. Still no shadow. I suppose I could test every value of black until it cast a drop shadow but again, I was hoping a future update would correct this.

 

Thank you,

Ed

Here is a sample and I also collected the job.

 

You should notice that paper and white produce no drop shadow

Version 10.0.3 does support overprinting drop shadows, finally.

 

However, for some reason I cannot get a drop shadow if I make the type paper white, or my own white.
