Looks fabulous. I used some of those steps when I make shadows, but haven't used the gradient or density tool, just the opacity, so that is very helpful, thank you, Colin.

Straight to the point and pleasant, easy to follow, thank you!

@philparker97 8 месяцев назад

Thank you very much! I've just created a very realistic shadow, of which I wouldn't have known how to even start, let alone add the field blur and gradient, without your clear and concise tutorial.

this is gold. clear in each and every aspect. Thank you so much.

@glenrose7482 Год назад

What a tale nice tutorial. Very chill, easy to follow and quick. An additional compositing trick is to then tint the shadow to match the inverse colour of the light (in this case a slight blue/cyan tint) casting the shadow.

@gemdistrict3501 Год назад

Nice shadow tutorial. I have been using the basic method to do shadows but will use this way in future as it looks far more realistic.

@ChristopherBriscoe Год назад

I love to learn what I didn't know...which is the definition of "learning", I guess?! :-) Thanks for taking the time to share!

@Dormazain 6 месяцев назад

That was easilyone of the most concise, well made tutorials I've ever looked up. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure it out myself, starting by copying the object layer and painting it black... surely I'm glad about the results this gives :D

Just for anyone wondering on a Mac, for the create layer instruction at 0.48 you hold control and click on the effect. It will give you the drop down menu that you see him using ☺

@jimharrison1156 Год назад

Great so easy once you know the steps! It was just in time. I just cut out a 90th bday cake with an elaborate sign from a terrible background and put it on a nicer one. I had added light from the side and was having trouble getting my shadow right.

@Jen-kw2fn Год назад

Massive thumbs up! This was such a simple method to get a high quality result. Thank you so much.

@photoshopcafe Год назад

Glad it helped!

@johnleighdesigns Год назад

nice yes! i like trying different options was good to see this approach - next would be some sort of colour matchcing and "light wrap" to integrate the cutout into the scene - maybe you did before and I missed!
