The Reflection effects that PowerPoint provides can be applied with a single click, and can indeed do wonders for your shapes. However, if you get too carried away by the swanky looking Reflections, you may end up distracting your audiences.

The Shadow effect in PowerPoint adds more depth to your selected shape, and you may achieve the perfect Shadow effect the very first time you use PowerPoint’s default Shadow options. However, you may want that Shadow to be a wee bit longer, or just a little less pronounced. Or maybe you want the Shadow to sport a color that’s different.

PowerPoint provides six types of Shape Effects; more than one of these effects can be applied to a selected shape. Some combinations of these effects look better than others. Having said so, practicing restraint not to go overboard with all effects is always a good thing. Also, trying out all the effect combinations may take a lot of time. Fortunately, the Presets option comes to your rescue. This option lets you use pre-combined combinations of the different effects. Figure 1, below shows some Preset effects applied to the same shape.
