Hi! How to add inset box-shadow to lightbox image? I try, but only outset shadow added.

  margin-top:10%;
  box-shadow: inset 20px 20px 50px rgba(0,0,0,0.7),
                    10px 10px 10px rgba(255,255,255,0.7);

Looking at your colors the inset color is black and is shown when I use your code. The outer color is white which doesn't show at all on a white back ground. Try and play around with different colors to see if you're getting the correct effect. You can even just type in "Black", or "Orange" on colored box to see but to me it looks like the inset is working.

Hi, Scott! I choose this colors specially, because overlay of my lightbox is black. I tried 2 times at diferent projects, but inset shadow didn't show. Can you write your CSS and JS code here? I will try again. Thank you!
