Feathering + Stretch

Feathering and stretch are sometimes used together to control the saturation of the shadow. The appearance of the shadow will depend on the ratio of feathering and stretch values:

  1. If you apply feathering, but a negative stretch, then the shadow will be very light;
  2. If you use feathering, but no stretch, then the shadow will be normal;
  3. If you use more feathering than stretch, then the shadow will be darker than normal.
  4. If the feathering value is less than the stretch, then the shadow will be very dark.

Experiment for yourself.
