Hi, dear, welcome once again, and this is the time for learning drop shadow in Adobe Photoshop.
Actually, if you apply drop shadow in your image with the object of, then the image will be a longer,
more professional and believable.
If you were using an image for e-commerce, then adding drop shadows, I highly recommend it because
the drop shadow animal images are having more still than others.
So let's take a look at how Drop Shadow really working and you can take a look.
This is an image from our exercise file and this is an image of Apple.
And we want to apply it for Shadow for this image.
So how it will look like it will apply the drop shadow.
So let me turn on this layer and here is the drop shadow we have added to this apple and now it just
looks more professional and believable.
OK, so let's take a look at how it will apply the drop shadow in image in Adobe Photoshop.
So let's take a look.
So at first we have to open our exercise file and therefore we have to play the file menu.
So here is the file menu and here is the open option.
So let me click on this open option, OK?
Inside our exercise file, it will create this shadow folder, so we just have to open it.
And inside the shadow folder, it will create this shadow image.
So you just have to select this shadow image and then you have to click open.
So let me click open.
OK, this is our image and you can take a look.
This is an image of Apple and we are going to add a drop shadow for this apple.
So at first we have to duplicate this background layer.
So this is the background layer and we have to duplicate this layer and to duplicate.
You just have to right.
Click with your mouse on this background layer.
Then I will get this duplicate layer option.
Click over here.
And this is the pop up for duplicating the layer and you have to type some name.
So let me write a shadow.
For our Neil duplicated player and to let me click, OK, so we have the shadow layer in here and right
now we have to make a selection of this apple and then we will add a layer mask and then we will add
a drop shadow.
OK, so how you will make a selection.
And right now we are not going to use the left at all.
Right now we are going to use quick selection tool for making a selection.
So where is the quick selection tool?
You will gain the quick selection tool inside the object selection tool.
So this is the object selection tool.
You just have to.
Right click with your mouse and then you will get this quick selection tool.
So let me click on this quick selection tool.
OK, so this is the quick selection tool and before chording selection, let me tell you something,
that here is the tool form that is ad form and substract form.
So this ad from our plus an ad firm is using for making a selection.
And if you have an extra selection area, then if you want to read deals with the extra selected area,
then you have to use the substract form.
So as we will make a selection, therefore we have to use that ad selection form.
OK, so the selection and you can take a look, the bra size seems quite smaller and I want to increase
the size and therefore we have to go for the Braasch option in here.
So let me click over here and let me increase the bra size.
Right now I have twenty five pixel and I want to go for.
Fifty two pixel.
OK, now I have the bigger brush, and right now I have the perfect selection of Apple.
OK, so the selection is done and right now we have to add a layer musk to add a layer musk.
You just have to click this option.
And this is the option for adding layer musk.
So let me click on this layer musk option and you can take a look.
We have a layer musk in here, and that means we already added a layer musk in this shadow image.
So we have the layer musk in our apple are a chandelier.
But if you want to compare with the layer musk background, then you will have the clear concept that
is what is layer.
Must let me turn off the back from layer and it can take a look.
The background is a removed only.
We have the apple, we only have the apple because we make a selection with the quick selection tool.
And then we added a layer of this apple.
And that's why we only have the apple and we don't have the background.
So let me turn on the background layer.
OK, so please make sure this layer musk is selected and now we will apply the top shadow to apply drop
shadow.
You have to click on the fix option in here.
So we click on affix option and from there we have to go for Drop Shadow.
So let me click on this drop shadow.
So this is the pop up of Pharrell style and this is the settings of a drop shadow side.
First we have to work with the distance, so let me increase that distance.
If you increase that distance, then you can have the look of drop shadow in Apple.
So let me increase the distance and it can take a look.
We are having a drop shadow in our apple, so I want to go for.
OK, for the pig cell for distance, and I want to increase the percentage of a spread, so let me increase
the spread percentage.
OK, and this is the size of a shadow.
So let me increase the size of shadow and you can take a look.
We have the bigger in size and the size of shadow depend on your needs.
So I want to go for 60 pigs.
So.
OK, cool.
We have the drop shadow right now, but you can take a look.
We have a very hard drop shadow and we don't want to.
Ls this her shadow and therefore we want to reduce the capacity to reduce the opposite.
You just have to reduce the capacity from here.
Right now we have 100 percent capacity and if we reduce the capacity then that of shadow will be.
Reduced.
OK, so let's go for fifty one percent and we have the perfect swap shadow right now, but you can take
a look at the position off drop shadow placed in the side of this apple.
But if you want to place this drop shadow at the bottom of this apple, then you can do that easily.
So therefore, you just have to use this and the will.
Right now, we have a zero degree.
And to place these drop shadow at bottom.
You have to move this will and we can place 90 degree.
OK, so we have the perfect drop shadow right now.
And if you want to if you want to increase the distance of this drop shadow from the apple, then you
can increase the distance from here, OK?
So right now I have one hundred and ninety one pixel and the drop shadow placed over here, but it's
not really seems good to stop a distance.
OK.
Fifty five pixels, really good.
OK, so you can take a look, we have our drop shadow in this image and to let me click, OK?
So you can take a look.
We have a dropshot over here, but if you want to disappear this drop shadow, you just have to turn
off this drop shadow layer cake over here.
OK, drop shadow gun, drop shadow on.
OK, so it's quite simple and I'm pretty sure you enjoyed this till tomorrow.
And let's take a look on next lesson.
