- Ever get hit by a bolt of lightning and realize there's a better way to do something you've done a million times!? Love it when that happens. In this video, we'll check out a completely different way to create short and long cast shadows in Photoshop. With an approach that finally gives you the ability to experiment, it opens up the doors to all kinds of cool effects...
Update: I posted a free action to create this effect!

You're a madman. This is rad. Stupidly simple and kind of genius.
🤯
Like realizing the Holy Grail was sitting right there next to your carkeys.
WOW! This out-of-the-box thinking is genius! Brady, this is insane. How do yo do it? Wow! There is no one I know of who is re-imagining Photoshop techniques like this. Your work is simply inspiring renewed enthusiasm into Photoshop workflows. Bravo!
That's awesome thank you!
I'm just making a wild guess but I think he came from an Amiga computer background. Many users from that era used out of the box techniques.
@@gfdggdfgdgf I think he came from another planet to enlighten us all!
But that’s just my wild guess 🤓
"Calm down man, it's just a shadow". Bravo sir, you nailed it. It's some kind of the Inception stuff, shadows inside shadows inside shadows, and each inside level is on the much smaller scale
That intro just killed and resurrected me
Ahh the dreadful realization that this has probably been possible for yeeaaars and nobody (that I know at least) figured it out. Very clever technique and great succinct video as always!
I actually laughed out loud when I realized what you were doing. Absolute madman.
By far the best Photoshop channel on all of CZcams! Amazing!
I've been using Photoshop for over 20 years and never thought of this! 🤯
The madman did it! It's like you've just uncovered a technique forbidden by the Photoshop Jedis
This is brilliant. I don't know how you come up with these ideas, but they're fantastic. Is it the nootropics you're taking? Or eating mushrooms or peyote so that you can channel the wisdom of ancient pixel-harvesting ancestors?
So glad I can support you on Patreon. I don't make my living with Photoshop. I just use it for fun and adventure, and you're a tour guide who knows all the awesome secret must-see places that make the trip more exciting.
Love it! Gotta say, the channel and the Patreon have given me an excuse to spend all kinds of hours chasing down ideas that I think might be interesting. Research and development department at your service...
Love your flashbulb moments, not only for the astounding results but also for all the fun and energy. Thank you.
your videos must break the record for quickest thumbs up, hasn't started yet and i'm jamming that thumbs up cause I just know it's gonna be good
Every time I see your new video in my subscription box it feels like Christmas :)
Amazing as always! Happy to be on Patreon and see these early. Still looking forward to learning more about those LoTR layer styles ya made for Adobe!
I hate throwing around the "G" word, but I feel like it's appropriate to call you a genius on this one. I can't imagine how many people this will help and how many pieces of art or media this will adorn in the future.
As ever, THANK YOU BRADY!
DUDE!!! what the actual? I have been using photoshop since 2000 this is hands down the biggest WTF of my career. You my friend are a different animal all together. Outstanding job!!! So simple and elegant.
That kinda blew my mind. So simple, but I never would have thought of it.
Your creativity is incredible! Huge thanks for the knowledge you provide!
That's a beaut. The multiplication! Yes!
Insanely unique! Thank you so much for this awesome technique!
This is absolutely incredible in its simplicity and flexibility. Yowza! 🤯 Thanks for your amazing channel. I’ve been stagnant in PS for a few years and your tutorials are reigniting my creativity.
Hey Brady, if you ever come in Greece, let me know. I will meet you and hug you!
This is awesome! I'm definitely using this for future projects. Thanks for sharing this with us!
You Always Amaze & Surprise Me Brady...
This is a game changer for me! Thank you SO MUCH! Also, don't forget you can scale effects up to 1000% as well so that helped with my larger shape layers. Oh this is so exciting.
You're a wizard, man. You consistently blow my mind. Thank you!
Pure genius! Thank you so much -- my very next project requires exactly that kind of shadow, and you've just saved me hours of work!
Love it as always! Thank you Brady for another awesome idea!
As soon as you made the 2nd group copy, I saw where you were going and knew the next shadow distances would be intervals of 10 and then 100!
Brilliant.
WOW!!! No words - thank you for such amazing tutorials!
Just blew my mind! An absolute mad genius you are!
This is Extra Awesome! I've always wandered how to do this!! Mindblowing
Simply beautiful. Thanks !
A true craftsman. thank you for diggin in and sharing with the rest of us.
Man you're the best, thanks for all the help and your fantastic insight and knowledge, blessings to you and your folks!
This is incredible. Thank you for sharing the tip!
WOW! It's one of the most complicated techniques I've ever seen in Photoshop, pure genious, mad man! We'll try it anyway, for sure...
What a great tip and workaround! Thanks for sharing this!!!! ❤️
The most awaited technique which only a Guru can think of! Your creativity with brains is mind-blowing! Photoshop + Texturelabs = "It's a mind game"! 💖💖💖💖💖
WoW.
Thanks for all the good stuff.
Grettings from Portugal.
That's amazing! Such a clever workaround that, once you've seen it, seems so intuitive (well, photoshop-intuitive at least), but that I would absolutely never have thought of myself.
I rarely do the kinds of things found in your tutorials, working these days as a photographer and not a graphic designer, but I'm still so happy when the new ones show up. The amount of inspiration they bring far outshines the actual use I personally have for the techniques.
You're great. Thanks for sharing.
I´m a photographer too, this tutorial plus this one he recorded a while ago, are great for creating realistic flat lay photograps with insane long shadows. Its great for creating patterns of the products photographed. Check it out: czcams.com/video/hwRwUeVoFTo/video.html
Wooooo! brilliant and so simple method. Thanks man
Mind blowing technique. Thanks .
wow you guys never miss. Love it
Wowzers. That is a stroke of inspired madness.
Genuinely amazing well done and thanks for the tip
Mind blown...again! Thank you Brady
This is fantastic. Another great upload. Thanks for sharing this new tech with us!
Keep making these wonderful tutorials 😍🖤
That's mind blowing! I dunno how you figure that out but this taught me to always expirement and there's no limits in creativity.
Wow! This is very smart. Great tutorial!
Dude I wait for your tuts even more than the House of the Dragon episodes! You are The Man!

OMG. I love this! Using this for my next design 💞
Whoa.... Calm down bro. It's just a shadow. 😂 Amazing technique as always Brady!
Wow that's incredible thank you very much 💗💗💗💗

ive been serching for this all my life thank you
Awesome 🤩 This channel is always amazing !
Genius!!! Thank you very much 👍🏻👍🏻
Very neat trick!!! So simple and logical! Geeeenius!
That's brilliant! I would *never* have thought to do it that way! 👏
Mind blown. Thank you.
Good Lord!!! Thats intense! Thanks so much.
Thus is insane 😲, been using Droo Shadow for quite some time but I never thought something like this is possible.
The effect is great! You could combine it with different oppacities or deeps of black and turn all the shadows to multiply so you could mimic the ambient shadows. On your last example it will make a huge difference! Also by adding the reflections of light you created on the 3d stony look, the results will be absolutely realistic for flat lay product photography
czcams.com/video/hwRwUeVoFTo/video.html this video you also made with this tecnique of insane long shadows will be extremly powerfull
Mind blown. Great hack!!
Very cool effect, done smartly !
Wow! Great tutorial as always
thank you so much for this, this is crazyyyy!
You never cease to amaze.
OMG!! thank you for this awesome!!!!
Amazing as always! im 16 and im trying to learn photoshop, and you are very helping me out with this amazing tutorials! keep it up!
Keep with it, homie. This channel is a gold mine and will legitimately teach you how to problem solve in Photoshop rather than just copy effects and layer adjustments like every other CZcams channel does.
Brilliant as usual!
So simple, but so powerful. How never saw anyone with that technique before ???
As allways a great video. Thank you.
Brilliant, as ever!
very ingenious. Felicitations!
HAX THEM PHOTOSHOP! Great Job Brady :)
Mind blowing!
Awesome find!
Congratulations again, Photoshop Wizard! 👏
THIS IS AMAING
haha you're such a wizard. Much love
Awesome! Thanks
Simply genious🔥
THIS IS CRAZY 🤯🤯🤯 I LOVE IT
I’ve used the nested drop shadow technique before to create extended soft shadows - but this takes it to a new level! Exponentially multiplying groups was inspired hack! And I always appreciate your pacing. You don’t talk down to your audience and labour through it slow. I’ll be watching this again and looking for an opportunity to use this. Is this translatable to after effects?
thats freaking amazing Brady
This guys is a genius! Hands down!
This is rad - thank you sir
increible. Just increible
Not even a new movie trailer or song release gets me as excited than a new Ps TxLabs Video... Awesome video and expertise as always.
Btw almost at 200k subscribers 👌🎉
Awesome and useful ✨
Simple beautiful, thankss
Mind. Blown.
Insane. So cool.
A literal genius, 🙏🏼😌
This is CRAZY!
