Set shadow position moves image

Hi I have a number of overlays. On one overlay I have a shadow. When I try to set the shadow direction I it moves the image instead e_shadow,x_20. I have tried fl_layer_apply.

image/upload/c_scale,w_800/l_api:pixel,e_colorize,co_rgb:f76706,w_0.9,h_0.6,y_10,fl_relative/l_api:download_4,w_0.9,c_fill,x_10,fl_relative,e_grayscale,e_tint:100:392c81/l_api:download_3,w_0.9,fl_relative,e_shadow:0,,x_-20,co_rgb:14a954/v1602101469/api/pixel.jpg

Thanks

  Hey James!

  I wanted to answer here as well so that other clients who experience similar difficulties could see the answer.

  It seems that the relative flag causes an issue when combined with the layer_apply flag, which I'm not sure is a bug or not - I'll have to check.

  However, I did manage to work around it by omitting the relative flag and multiply each relative value with the base image value (see below w_0.9_mul_$w). After that, adding the layer_apply flag worked as expected -
  
  https://res.cloudinary.com/makingthings/image/upload/c_scale,w_800/$w_w/l_api:pixel,e_colorize,co_rgb:f76706,w_0.9_mul_$w,h_0.6_mul_$w/y_10,fl_layer_apply/l_api:download_4,w_0.9_mul_$w,c_fill,e_grayscale,e_tint:100:392c81/x_10,fl_layer_apply/l_api:download_3,w_0.9_mul_$w,x_-20,e_shadow:0,co_rgb:14a954/x_-20,fl_layer_apply/v1602101469/api/pixel.jpg

  Here is a breakdown of the above URL -

  https://res.cloudinary.com/makingthings/image/upload/
  
  c_scale,w_800/$w_w/
  l_api:pixel,e_colorize,co_rgb:f76706,w_0.9_mul_$w,h_0.6_mul_$w/y_10,fl_layer_apply/
  l_api:download_4,w_0.9_mul_$w,c_fill,e_grayscale,e_tint:100:392c81/x_10,fl_layer_apply/
  l_api:download_3,w_0.9_mul_$w,x_-20,e_shadow:0,co_rgb:14a954/x_-20,fl_layer_apply/
  
  v1602101469/api/pixel.jpg
  

  Notice that by finetuning the x value of the shadow effect, the image/layer dimensions change. For instance, the above x_-20 widens the layer by 20 pixels. Since that, the center position of the image (with the shadow) gets changed. This is why the models move a bit to the right (compared to this attempt).

  Additional information regarding variables (e.g - the above $w) can be found here -
