Luckily enough for us, there are a couple of filters we can use to make this work: The DropShadow filter and the Shadow filter. The problem with the DropShadow filter is that the shadow is solid, and not fluffy as desired, although it offers easy values for X and Y. The Shadow filter on the other hand offers a nice shadow, but instead of x and y offset, we need to specify direction and strength the set the length of the shadow.
