| Criteria | Native Photoshop (Layer Style) | Shadowify 2 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Uniform blur (same softness everywhere). | Gradient blur (softer further away). | | Realism | Low (looks "dropped on a scanner"). | High (simulates light angle & decay). | | Long Shadows | Manual (requires duplicate + transform). | 1-Click generation. | | Editing | Live via Layer Style window. | Rasterized initially, but supports Smart Filters. |
