Adding effects to graphics

Freeway allows you to add a range of effects to graphics including: drop shadow, outer glow, background color, foreground color (), and border.

In conjunction with the transformations these effects enable you to create complex graphic composites entirely within Freeway, without needing to use another paint program, and with the flexibility of being able to alter your artwork at any stage.
