Inner shadow
Inner shadow is a Stylise effect.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Shifts the outside of the layer’s shape towards Angle, blurs it and lays it over the layer where the layer draws. Past the layer’s own edges counts as outside, so on a shape or text layer the shadow follows the shape.
