1. Opacity controls how transparent the shadow or reflection is across its entire extent. As opacity increases, the color of the shadow shifts toward black. A) Opacity slider bar - Transparent setting B) Opacity slider bar - Opaque setting 2. Falloff applies a gradient of transparency. The shadow or reflection becomes more transparent with distance from the subject. To be more precise, this slider controls how far up the shadow the gradient is applied. Beyond a point, which varies depending on other settings and the nature of the background, the end of the shadow or reflection fades into invisibility. As this value approaches its maximum setting (1.000), the part of the effect that remains visible becomes shorter.
