BlendMode blendMode
The blending mode for the drop shadow effect.
Number opacity
The opacity of the drop shadow (as a percentage). (Range: 0 to 100)
Measurement Unit (Number or String)=any xOffset
The horizontal offset of the drop shadow. Range depends on the unit type. For points: -1000 to 1000; for picas: -83p4 to 83p4; for inches: -13.8889 to 13.8889; for mm: -352.778 to 352.778; for cm: -35.277 to 35.277; for ciceros: -78c2.389 to 78c2.389.
Measurement Unit (Number or String)=any yOffset
The vertical offset of the drop shadow. (Range depends on the unit type. For points: -1000 to 1000; for picas: -83p4 to 83p4; for inches: -13.8889 to 13.8889; for mm: -352.778 to 352.778; for cm: -35.277 to 35.277; for ciceros: -78c2.389 to 78c2.389)
Measurement Unit (Number or String)=any size
The radius (in pixels) of the blur applied to the drop shadow. (Range depends on the unit type. For points: 0 to 144; for picas: 0p0 to 12p0; for inches: 0 to 2; for mm: 0 to 50.08; for cm: 0 to 5.08; for ciceros: 0c0 to 11c3.128.)
Swatch effectColor
The color applied to the drop shadow, specified as a swatch (color, gradient, tint, or mixed ink), or as an array of color values. The color mode dictates the array values: for RGB, specify three values, each in the range 0 to 255, in the format [R,G,B]; for CMYK, specify four values, each as a percentage and each in the range 0 to 100, in the format [C,M,Y,K]; for LAB, specify three values in the format [L,A,B], with L in the range 0 to 100 and A and B in the range -128 to 127.
Number noise
The amount (as a percentage) of noise applied to the shadow. (Range: 0 to 100)
Number spread
The amount (as a percentage of the blur width) to spread the footprint of the drop shadow and reduce the radius of the blur. (Range: 0 to 100)
Boolean useGlobalLight
If true, uses the global light angle.
Boolean knockedOut
If true, the layer will knock out the drop shadow.
Boolean honorOtherEffects
If true, the drop shadow will take into account other non-shadow effects.
Object properties
A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
Methods
String toSource()

String toSpecifier()
Retrieves the object specifier.
