Create a Drop Shadow

✏️ Step 1: Create a Drop Shadow (Quick & Easy)
Method 1: Layer Style
  1. Open Photoshop
  2. Clipping Path
  3. Background remove
  4. Select the object layer.

  5. Go to Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow.

    • Opacity: 30–70%

    • Distance: Small for soft shadows, larger for directional light

    • Spread: 0–10%

    • Size: 10–60px for softness

    • Angle: Match your light source (usually 120°)

Natural Shadow

Similarly, in detail, Natural shadow means the image’s own shade. With natural shadows, your image looks real and has no artificial effects.

📢 Step 3: Create a Natural Shadow (Manual Method)

Method 2: Brush + Blur

  1. Create a new layer below the object.

  2. Use a soft round brush, low opacity (10–20%), in black or dark gray.

  3. Paint gently beneath the object’s base.

  4. Use Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to soften the edges.

  5. Lower the layer opacity to 30–60% for realism.

Reflection Shadow

📢 Reflection Shadow (Optional for Shiny Products)
  1. Duplicate the object layer.

  2. Flip it vertically (Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical).

  3. Position it below the original as if on a mirror surface.

  4. Add a layer mask and use a black-to-white gradient to fade out the reflection.

  5. Lower opacity to 20–40%.

  • 📦 Export Tips

    • Save in PNG (with transparency) or JPEG with a white background.

    • Make sure shadows don’t look like floating halos or are too dark.

Cast Shadow

Cast Shadow Image Editing is the process of creating a realistic shadow that mimics how light naturally falls from an object onto a surface—as if the product is casting a shadow on the ground or wall. This technique adds depth, realism, and grounding, especially useful in fashion, product, or lifestyle images.

  • 📦 Use Cases for Cast Shadows
    Product TypeCast Shadow Direction
    ModelSide or below heel
    ProductBehind and to the side
    Chairs/FurnitureLong, soft shadow on ground
    Models (fashion)Behind or on side wall
