Discover how to easily create natural shadows using the Layer Technique in Photoshop! In this tutorial, we will use the concept of shadow hardness and intensity to paint a shadow layer by layer. Using Opacity and Blur Gallery filter as powerful tools in our arsenal we will make sure that the shadow maintains a smooth and natural gradient.
This lesson will cover the concept of how a shadow is constructed, followed by using fundamental tools like Layers, Opacity, Field Blur, and Tilt Shift, to simulate a real shadow. We will also learn a unique trick where we use grain to make the shadow more realistic. I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching :)

Great content. Also, my 2 cents - usually colors from the object will reflect to the background and pollute the shadows. So to make it look more natural, you can add a little bit of the object's color to the shadows. In this case a little cream/yellow color.

The extra touch that would works so well is small light going thru the middle crevice, basically having that slight bump in light would be awesome for this realistic averaged GI light feel

I'm not professionally pursuing this field, I do this in my leisure time and whenever I get confuse I look up to you 😄, Thank you for being there Unmesh da ♥

@marklutnes935 2 года назад

Wow! This will make a tremendous difference in the way I see, imagine, and create shadows. I could place those bars of soap outside in the sun and the shadows wouldn't look more realistic. No more being afraid of one's shadows in Photoshop!

Hi Unmesh I would like to see a video from you if possible that what do first while doing portrait retouching. Like there are a lot of steps and things involved while doing this job. Can you tell according to prorioty of each step. As you know very well the steps are endless while doing portrait retouching but here's a list of steps in my mind for doing portrait retouching: - 1- Skin retouching by any technique (Dodge&Burn, Frequency Seperation etc.) 2- Eyes retouching 3- Lips retouching 4- Color Grading 5- Color Correction 6- Skin tones correction 7- Teeth whitening 8- Overall Dodge and Burn on face to enchane its dimensions 9- Stray hair removal 10- Hair retouching (Enhacing the color of hair probably using curves 😂) 11- Blemishes Removal 12- Using liquify to sharpen neck or nose 13- Blurring the background (Bokeh/Portrait) 14- Removing the curves from clothes 15- Patching or removal of anything that makes the focus away from main subject 16- Overall sharpening on portrait 17- Adding noise to portrait 18- Changing the background Can you please explain which step to do first then the other and then the other and can you also please explain why? Like where to start first and then keep going with each step? Hope you see this and respond to it.
