## Included in the first release
- Ambient, Surface, Lifted, and Crisp presets
- Manual color and opacity controls
- X and Y offset controls
- Blur and spread controls
- Replace existing drop shadows mode
- CSS box-shadow recipe export
- Built-in CHTools feedback and product link
## How to use

5. Copy the recipe when you need a CSS reference.
