Fixed shadow, It did include the stone but distort squashed it.

Where's the marble shadow? That would help this a lot!

rotten shadows get me everytime! I duplicate, distort, and color overlay (black) reduce transparency and smudge, is this the proper way to create Shadows?
TheShaman TheShaman
thats def one way to do it carl, looks good from here! 8)
Freakboy Freakboy
good job man, with alot of my shadows, i simply freehand with the burn tool (unless it's a complicated shape, then i use hue/saturation>distort>darken>opacity)
TheShaman TheShaman
soo many different ways to make shadows work
mikey mikey
Copy/paste..flip vertical/horizontal..color fill..decrease opacity..gusn blur..depends on angle of light source, use distort/skew/perspective".. my 2 cents on shadows"...
CarlC CarlC
Thanks everyone for the Shadow advice!

Good job! That's much better - I'm out of votes this time, but you'll get my next one

I make shadows by duplicating the layer, select all, then select inverse. then I paint it all black. then I do gaussian blur, then set the transparancy anywhere from 20% to 50%. then I use cntrl>T and mess with it from there.

Yes, all good advice, but if you really look at shadows, they're darker where they meet the object, then fade as the object gets further away. so gradient overlay sometimes helps. another 2 cents.

i make shadows by changing the position of the sun. it's difficult, but it's really the most efficient way.

Well knock it the hell off Feral. My chickens are giving milk and my cows are laying eggs because of you! Not that I mind the huge eggs, it's just the thimble fulls of milk aint cutting....not cutting it at all.
