Adding shadow on all four sides of an UIImage iOS 6.0

Question

I am trying to add a shadow to all four sides of a imageView. I see that: self.shadowView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(10, 20); put a shadow on two sides. How do I put a shadow on all four sides?

Answer 1

Just set shadowOffset to (0,0) or something close. Adjust shadowRadius if you want the shadow to be bigger. The default is 3 but you may have to increase it. You also may want to play with shadowOpacity to determine the visibility of the shadow.

Answer 2

_yourImageView.layer.shadowRadius = 10.0;

This line plays the game. Try increasing your shadowRadius. Thus you will get the shadow on all 4 sides.
