As part of our series on PowerPoint effects for shapes, we will explore the Glow effect. This effect adds a hazed color perimeter outside the shape area. This effect is an Outer Glow surrounding the shape. You can choose from various glow colors such as Theme colors or even any other color of your choice to match the look of the slide content.
To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

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. Most of PowerPoint’s Reflection presets that you learned to apply in our Reflection Effects for Shapes in PowerPoint tutorial are attractive, yet somewhat distracting.

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.
