Hidir will come on once again, and this is the time for learning long drop shadow in Adobe Photoshop.
And lastly, we'll learn about how to add a drop shadow.
And in this lesson, we are going to learn about the long drop shadowing Adobe Photoshop, the process
of adding drop shadow and a long drop shadow and a little bit different.
You may have to use a long drop shadow for several times or when it will work in Adobe Photoshop and
we are going to learn this entire process in this lesson.
So let me show you the output for adding a long drop shadow and you can take a look.
This is an image from our exercise file and it's an image of shool.
And we are going to add a long drop shadow on this shoot.
So let me show you the output.
OK, you can take a look, we have a long drop shadow for this image and we are going to this entire
process right now.
So let's take a look at how it will add a long drop shadow in an image in Adobe Photoshop.
So at first we have to open our exercise file.
So here is the file menu, open option.
And inside the shadow folder, you will get this long drop shadow image.
So you just have to select it and then you have to click open.
OK, this is our image and it's an image of a shoe, but you can take a look at the background of this
image is transparent and you're not really looking well.
So we want to we want to add a background first.
And you can add a background easily with the solid color.
We want to put some solid color for making the background.
And you can add a solid color easily from that adjustment layer.
So this is the adjustment layer inside our layer panel.
If you click over here, then you will get this solid color option.
So let me pick this solid color option.
And this is the color picker.
You can pick any color from here, so let's pick some color.
OK, this color seems good, and I want to click, OK?
OK, so we have a yellow color as our background, but you can take a look at the shoe still invisible,
so we have to make it visible.
So how you can do that, you can do that easily.
Right now, we have to layer in our our panel.
So this is the solid color layer and this is the shoe image.
So let's rename the layers, then it will help us to understand.
So this is solid color layer and therefore I want to rename this layer name instead of colorful one.
So you just have to double click with your mouse and then you have to type a solid color.
OK, and this is the another layer, and this is the main image layer, and I want to rename the layer
instead of layer one.
Let me ride.
Sure.
OK, so we have to layer should layer and a solid color layer, but still our show is invisible, so
we have to move these shoeleather at top.
Then Marshall will be visible.
So let's move this shoe layer at top.
Magic.
We can take a look.
The shoe is visible right now and we have a perfect background for this image.
So we have a nice background.
And right now we will apply long drop shadow in this image to apply a long drop shadow for this show.
Will we have to make a selection for this show?
And you know which tool you have to use for selection?
Yes, you are right.
You have to use the quick selection tool.
So this is the quick selection tool.
And please make sure you are using this add selection form.
And here is the last line.
You can follow this.
Plus, if you use this plus line, then you will be able to make the selection.
But if you use this substract selection, then this tool is gradually using or for removing or detecting
the extra selected area.
So we are going to make a selection.
That's why we have to use this add selection form or this plus sign form.
OK, so let's start make a selection for the show and we will only make the selection for this issue
only we will not make any selection with the other support over here.
OK, we have a perfect selection and right now we have to add a new layer because we will feel this
selection with a black color for making a long shadow.
And we want to make this feel with a different layer.
And that's why we want to add a new layer.
So let's add a new layer to add a new layer.
You just have to click on this.
Plus sign inside this layer panel and you can take a look and new layer is added.
So I just have to rename this layer name and to let me ride Shadow.
OK, so here is our new layer, and please make sure this shadow layer is selected and now with this
shadow layer, we will fill this election with black color.
And to do that, we have to go for edit menu and from there we will go for fill optional.
So this is the fill option.
OK, cool.
So this is the pop up for Phil and from the contents, you have to make sure your contents with the
black option, you may have different option, like foreground, color, background, color, color,
content and any others content you may have selected.
But we will go for black option and for blending option.
We will use the normal mode and our it should be 100 percent.
And so let me click, OK, and we can take a look.
We have black Corfield color for this selection and it's a really good.
So if you follow this shadow layer you can take a look.
The selection is filled with black color in shadow layer.
So this is what we wanted to do.
And right now we will apply this black full color show as the long drop shadow.
So let's do that.
We have to make a D selection for this issue.
You can take a look.
We have the stills election and to do select you can press control or command, do you from your keyboard
or you can just go for select menu.
And here is that select option.
OK, right now we have deselection for this shows and we have to move this shadow layer at middle of
this show and a solid color layer.
So we want to place this shadow layer at second place and we want to put this issue layer at top.
So let's put this shadow layer at Mindil.
OK, we can take a look right now.
We have the layer at top, shadow layer at middle and solid color at the bottom.
So we have to make sure this shadow layer is selected and the shadow layer is placed behind this issue
as because we have the show layer at the top and the shadow layer is at the second.
So therefore this shadow layer or the black selection is placed behind this shoe and we want to make
it visible and we want to make this shadow layer as our long drop shadow as we will use this shadow
layer as our long drop shadow.
So we have to scale this shadow layer properly.
And to do that we have to use a scaling option and we have to scale the shadow layer and we have to
make a long drop shadow.
And you know how to scale this shadow layer.
You just have to press control our common departure from your keyboard or you can just click the menu,
transform option.
And here is the scale option.
OK, so let's scale this shadow layer and let's make this shadow layer as our long shadow.
And let's make it bigger.
OK, good.
So you just have to hit the button or you just have to click this teamwork for comedic action.
OK, so right now we have a long rob shadowbox is it really looks like a shadow?
I think it's not really it looks like a shadow because it's just a fill color with the black color and
it's the frame of the issue.
But it's not really looks like a shadow.
It will really look like a shadow when we will reduce the capacity of this shadow layer.
So let's reduce the opacity.
Here is the option for reducing the capacity.
You just have to click on this pasada option.
Right now, we have that 100 percent capacity and we have to reduce that percentage of capacity.
So reduce it.
OK.
Right now, we have the four to five percent capacity, and now this really looks like a shadow and
you can take a look.
We have a nice long shadow for our image.
So this is the simple way for creating the long shadow in an image in Adobe Photoshop.
So I'm pretty sure you enjoyed this.
Leysen So let's have some practice.
