    Hello,

    I am very new to Inkscape.  I am trying to create a logo for my site and wanted to add a nice drop shadow to the logo.  But unfortunately the drop shadow gets cut off on the right side and bottom.  I googled the issue and found people recommend changing values in the Filter Editor under Filter General Settings.  I tried changing the Dimensions while that layer was selected and nothing changed.  I put the width all the way up to 1000 from 1.04 and still nothing changed.  I followed this: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/131252/shape-looks-cut-off-cropped-different-problem

    I'd love some help figuring this out.

    Check on where it says "Automatic Region". That should expand the space the filtered element needs for the Gaussian Blur. A more robust solution would be to duplicate the "T", put it under the original "T" move right+down and set color/transparency+blur at the Fill and Stroke panel.
