Clip effect in appearance panel
Hi all. I’m a fairly experienced Photoshop user that’s currently learning illustrator, mostly for fun. I’m working my way through what can and cannot be done in the Appearance panel and have not been able to work out how to have the drop shadow appear only on the red circle using just the Appearance panel itself. I’m aware that I could use transparency masks, layers and clipping masks to do this, so no need for anyone to spend any time answering that.
I mostly want to make sure I’m not missing something, as it seems like just clipping to a lower effect within the Appearance panel isn’t a feature or function outside the realm of possibility. If it’s not possible, I’d love to know that for sure.
Thanks in advance for any answers or clarification and apologies if this is something simple I’ve missed.
