I have been using photoshop for well over 10 years and doing a lot of compositing but never could work with shadows very well unless the shadow was on a white background.
Im so glad I tuned into this tutorial to get a great way to add a shadow to a composited image. Thank you for sharing your skills!

Thank you!
I want to create that backdrop shadow manually. Eagerly waiting for a manually created realistic backdrop shadow tutorial ✋
Excelent tutorial Mr. Jesus Ramirez, you gave a great step by step ass well as many things to take into consideration! I must say that after making mistakes the minute you hear an expert like yourself give a tip one knows why you are giving the tip. In the past I have done what you showed us in this video and later as I looked back at the images I immediatly noticed that the background needed noise in order to look believable. Thanks for this fantastic channel and for all the great information you share with us all here, much health and success to you Sir!
Thank you, Alexander! I'm glad you found it useful. Health and success to you as well!
Amazing
Thank you!
A very nice tutorial as always, thanks Jesus.
You're welcome, Bob!
Welcome back sir 👍
Thank you, Sajid!
Jesus , really like how you present your content - thanks Peter
Thank you, Peter!
Everything in this vid is great -- but it's totally worth it just for the "Link layers" button that I never noticed!
Thank you!
nice tut bro :D
Thank you!
Really cool, Jesus! It works, but this is worth practicing.
Thank you, John!
great
Thanks Jesús...
3:59 / 14:02 I think you forgot to click (check mark) on the option Dither. To prevent banding. But love the tutorial. Never thought of doing a gradient filter effect to do a seamless photo backdrop.
Thank you for another amazing tutorial, Jesús! Question: How does Linking Layers (~11:24) differ from Grouping them? Why/when use one as opposed to the other? Thanx again!
Grouping (by default) is used purely for organization. Linking layers allows you to keep multiple layers together without having them in the same group. In other words, you can have multiple layers linked that belong to different groups. When you move one, they all move with it. I hope this helps!
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel Yikes -- Thank you! Whodathunk! I never noticed that Link icon before - You have opened up a whole new Ps world for me!
Another question, Jesús: When you went to soften the shadow edge (~9:45), why did you use a Brush rather than the Feather slider in the Properties panel for that Layer Mask? Does the soft brush give you more control over where to apply the feathering? Thanx!
Exactly right! I can decide where and how to paint in the shadow.
Great tutorial. Is it possible to download the photo. I hav e no photo to use. /Nils
Do you provide the file to practice/follow along ? Thanks
Great tutorial as always - thank you but … at 9.03 whatever I do I can’t use alt (Mac Option key) and click to select and fill the outside to select the shadow area. Driving me mad - any advice please??
Su, basically you need to make sure the area outside is selected. Then fill with black, it could be your foreground or background color. Sorry if I misunderstood your question
While you still have the gradient transparent, select the colours from the image for the top and middle, etc, to match colours better
Can you show how to remove a air con image from a wall.
I've watched this video seems like a thousand times and have followed it step by step and everything works fine. great results until I get trying to add the shadow back into the image. I just can't get it to do it any suggestions?????
What if you wanted to move the background shadow after creating it?
I have tried the shadow technique several times now but as soon as I press control + backspace it doesn't go black, it goes white. i have had a few successful attempts but I can't figure out the problem, since I am doing exactly what you are doing and the majority of the time this happens. Do you have a fix for this?
Ctrl Backspace fills with background color. Make sure Black is the background color.
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel it is. I did precisely that 🥲
Awesome but far easier if you get it right in the shoot. save all this hassle. or try the burn tool to create the shadow fast and dirty. nobody could tell.
The point of the video is what to do if you have to work with something not done "right in the shot." That's 99% of the professional work I do for the Hollywood industry.
The chair shadow is fine, but the man would have a shadow too.
There was no shadow in the original photo. So why add it?
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel It looks as if the angle of the shadow cast by the man's right foot and even those of the stool's legs and their supports would not change much by the time you get to the top of his head. Because of the inverse square law, the shadow that would be cast at the top of his head would be lighter, but at that point, it's already being projected against the reflective floor and barely visible, if at all. I would have thought that by extending the matte nature of the background, that shadow would be more visible, albeit lighter than at the bottom of the stool, but the shadow you created seems to stop and looks squared off where the new background extension met the old background. This is something the average viewer may not notice and maybe I'm being too finicky, but I wanted to express my thoughts about it, just the same.
That's a lot of work. Easier to just do the photo properly to start with as in remove unwanted objects in camera.
Sure. But sometimes you have to work with what you have. Or you may not even be the photographer just the person stuck with the retouching/design.
Good information but presented too quickly. Can’t keep up.
Fast and easy??? That was like 1000 steps
The video showed two techniques in 14 minutes. I would say that's fast. And the first technique was very easy.
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel the first technique qualifies as fast. The second technique involved about 100 steps. If you consider that fast then you have a lot more spare time than I have.
I need this image .Can you please give me this image? @PhotoshopTrainingChannel.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for that!
Thanks!
Jesus .. Thank you for this great tutorial .. super easy to follow and tons of detail .. I like that you provide the reason why you choose the tools you do or the method you use .. because there are SO many ways to get something done in PS. I used my own image to follow along .. but had a problem with the person having like a line around the edges and I could never figure out how to get rid of that [it wasn't like a halo, but this weird edge]
@@JaeRobinson Jae, There might be a few reasons. Feel free to message me through my website. I could look at your result and see what issues could be causing it. Thanks
