Applying a Glow effect adds a nice halo around a selected shape or most other slide objects. You may find that the Glow effect defaults do not work for you all the time, especially since the default glow options are limited only to Theme Colors. So if you want to make some changes, you have to step outside these defaults and change the glow color, alter the spread or transparency, etc.

A Glow effect adds a hazed color perimeter outside the shape area, and by default, the Glow colors emanate from the active Theme. These default Glow colors work most of the time, but of course, you can change the Glow color to something entirely different.

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.
