Overview
Shadowed Image is a Flutter package that generates shadows for images using the same color scheme as the original image, ensuring a natural and cohesive visual effect. It enhances image presentation by adding depth through dynamic shadowing based on the image's dominant colors. Ideal for UI elements requiring subtle yet impactful visual hierarchy, it works across all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package integrates seamlessly with existing Flutter projects via a simple pub add command.
