The Shadow Render Element is a color image that works as a reverse mask for shadows and can be used to lighten, darken or tint shadows. Shadows can be lightened in the composite by adding this pass, or darkened by subtracting this render pass from the final composite.

The Shadow render element is the product of multiplying the Shadow Raw Render Element with the Diffuse Render Element in the composite.
