The Backdrop interface.
When you apply Backdrop Designer to a layer in Photoshop, a custom interface opens. Inside are five expandable areas and options. Through these palettes, you can mutate the Backdrop pattern, shift its color values, adjust the opacity of its shadows, even load in another Photoshop file.

The Backdrop UI has five main areas:
1- |
|
The 'Texture/Color Window' for loading, customizing, and creating Texture presets. |
2- |
|
The 'Shadow Map Window' for loading, customizing, and creating Shadow presets. |
3- |
|
The 'Combine Window' for viewing and tweaking the composite backdrop. |
4- |
|
The 'Bend Editor' for loading in bitmap files to use as custom Shadows, in place of a preset. |
5- |
|
A 'Menu Bar' for many global tasks, including saving your own presets. |


Expanded UI options.
Each area of Backdrop Designer contains a tool palette or dialog box that modifies your backdrop. Just click the Edit buttons to expand the Texture and Shadow windows. Click an orange arrow to load the Texture presets, Shadow presets or Bend bitmaps. |
