Thought Encloses your text in a comic-book text bubble with a dotted stem.

Stem Angle Specifies the direction of the text bubble stem. Drag the arrow to adjust

the angle.

Thickness Specifies the thickness of the text bubble border.

Length Specifies the length of the text bubble stem.

Fill Specifies the background color of the text bubble. Click the arrow to

select a color.

Border Specifies the color of the text bubble border. Click the arrow to select a

Effect Settings Effect Specifies the effect you want to apply to your text. Each effect has

different options that control its appearance. Drag the sliders to adjust

the appearance of the text.

Drop Shadow Settings Distance Specifies the distance between the drop shadow and the text. The

higher the value, the farther the shadow and the higher the text

appears.

If a drop shadow is cut off, or has a noticeably sharp edge, you may

need to increase the size of the text rectangle.

Blur Specifies the amount of blur applied to the drop shadow. Sharp

shadows tend to seem less realistic than those with a slight blur.

Opacity Specifies the darkness of the drop shadow where it falls on the image.

Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that creates the

drop shadow. Drag the arrow to adjust the angle - note that this also

adjusts the shading of the text bevel.

Bevel Settings Bevel Specifies how much of each letter's edge is bevelled. Higher values give

the text a more rounded, smoother look.

Strength Specifies the difference between the highest and lowest points on the

text. Higher values heighten the difference between the flat portions of

the text and the bevelled edges.

Elevation Specifies the height of the imaginary light source that creates the

bevel's shadowed effect. Lower values produce longer shadows on the

text, while a higher value produces a more direct lighting effect and

shorter shadows.

Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that creates the

bevel effect. Drag the arrow to adjust the angle - note that this also

adjusts the angle of the drop shadow.
