Inner shadow.

Add a shadow inside a layer’s edge for an inset appearance.

Shading falls inside three circular silhouettes, giving flat shapes an inset quality. Inner Shadow follows their alpha edges while leaving the surrounding field clear. Shapes, shadow direction, size, choke and colour remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second Strata inset-depth study on Bone. Arrange three differently sized Sky, Sea and Meadow circular shapes below a neutral Exposure headline. After one second, soften the actual Inner Shadow layer style inward along each silhouette using size 48, offset 22/26, choke 0.12 and restrained translucent black. Keep type clear and unstyled; retain original circle geometry and all style controls.
