@jenniferatterton1587 4 года назад

That is an excellent way to incorporate shadows, particularly if you are dealing with figures, thank you, Colin.

@MadsBoPedersen 4 года назад

Love the tip of using the gradient, and I never really had a good use for Field blur until now - that was amazing. Thank you Colin!

@hl3025 3 года назад

Thank you, Collin. Your instructional pace is perfect for me. I was able to follow easily and understand all the subtle commands. I did not have to keep pausing and replay like other channels. Keep up the good work.

This is the BEST technique I've seen for this (and I think I've tried them all). A major CONGRATULATIONS to you Colin.

@taimurmahmood953 2 года назад

Love it Colin! Your teaching style is easy to learn from. It helps me with my own Photoshop techniques. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

@taste_is_sweet 4 года назад

That was really cool. And thank you for explaining every step like that. Sometimes knowing WHERE to click makes all the difference.

@mannyd9328 4 года назад

That’s a much better way to create a cast shadow with so much control. Thanks for the great tip.👍🏼

@ebohaberkorn Год назад

Great way of doing shadows. This has always been a mystery to me how to do this properly. Thanks for great tutorial.

@cherylconnor2282 3 года назад

Oh boy what a learning curve for me. Multiple layer masks as trying to do composites so had to learn how to combine into one layer mask for the gradient layer. Managed it . Only thing I could do was the fianl field blur as that was greyed out. What an excellent tutorial. Big thank you! have subscribed!!!

@blakemccracken889 3 года назад

Photoshop has been an especially frustrating software for me to pick up. Just as I was getting very frustrated with other tutorials because they weren't "click for click" identical to my version and what I was trying to accomplish, I found your video. Thank you for the straight forward explanation, you just saved me from a bad mood. Subscribed.

@fcarrizo60 4 года назад

Oh, Thank you so much! I had requested a while a go a way to make an object looks like it's sitting on a surface, not hovering over it, and the trick was getting the pivot point set on the right place and then play around with the free transform tool, that solved my problem. Awesome!

I just tried it out on one of my own images - it works amazingly well, and a lot easier than using dropshadow and then ad gradient. Thank you (once again)

@seanconnelly2144 4 года назад

cast shadows are so difficult for me - I feel dyslexic LOL - I've tried a few different ways - this one seem better - thanks, you are the best teacher.

@Rocadamis 2 года назад

A useful technique. I knew you were going to make the effects into a layer, but I thought you were going to use the drop shadow effect to do it. This is interesting and jumps a few steps. Here's tip, you can hold the command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) to adjust the Transform item as a Skew or Distort.

@lindamaddocks8040 3 года назад

This was great. I need some more practice with the field blur. My settings look different, with CC 2021 PSD. I couldn't get that much a difference in sharpness of front of shadow compared to back. I think I've got something good enough for today's needs though.

@ralphpayne6259 4 года назад

Getting the shadow at the beginning was really informative. How to use it artistically - well, that's gonna be the fun for us. Nice simple technique that seems to produce good results quickly. What would I really like to see for your channel? An index that lets me find techniques from the many different videos you've done, easily.

@photoshopcafe 4 года назад

Thats a good suggestion, where would I display it?

@taimdala 4 года назад

@@photoshopcafe Is there a character limit to the info section? If there isn't, perhaps you can make a video introducing highlights from your index as a slide show, with an index of links to the individual videos in the info section. If there's a way to pin that video at the top of your channel's listings, that would make it easy to find. As you add more videos, update the index with the links to the new videos.

@ralphpayne6259 4 года назад

@@photoshopcafe ideally as a fully up-to-date spreadsheet (dashboard approach)/database list on a website. In the long run that makes it easier for you. Keeping it within RU-vid channel will be a good place to start but becomes more difficult to use. Intermediate approach would be an email feed but that had its own issues. On a spreadsheet dashboard it could even have a column that shows which version of PS it can be used from - especially as you have been doing it so long 😉 Whichever is cost effective and easy to use for all abilities, I do hope it happens. I'm sure it will be a first. Hey, maybe RU-vid can help!

@elmafudd9703 3 года назад

I need to know how i would mask inner glow (for example on an object or person) on a complicated subject so that only chosen areas are under this result of this FX. It is either on or off.

@carlkristensen8398 4 года назад

Nice!

@Mrtom40 4 года назад

WOW

@ron-manke 4 года назад

Good overview thanks! Why not use the 3D features in photoshops to do shadows? Might be less steps...especially if you create a standard shadow template document.

@photoshopcafe 4 года назад

Thats definitely another option. although 3D in PS takes forever to render.

@HPHaraldsen 4 года назад

smart !

@nurb2kea 4 года назад

Result is OK, but the many steps isn't.

@photoshopcafe 4 года назад

I have another tut on a simpler method, that wan't my goal here, it was realism and people notice the difference in images where a little more effort is put in.
