  2. Open the Style Panel

    With the image selected, navigate to the right-hand sidebar. Click on the "Style" tab, which is typically located alongside "Settings" and "Interactions," to access all the visual styling options for your image.

  3. Expand Effects Settings

  4. Add a Box Shadow

    Inside the expanded "Effects" section, locate the "Box shadows" option. Click the plus (+) icon next to it to add a new box shadow effect to your selected image.
