yes i will :D nice work
Great video! I will definitely use this in the future, thanks!
Yes I will.
i cant use 3d because ..my video graphic wont let me use 3d options .. so how am i suppose to make a shadow ... m having a hard tym here ..making my conposite
so much better than drop shadows thank you!
You're an exceptional teacher. I always understand your explanations and learn so much. Keep up the GREAT channel
Thank you, Vanessa!
one more best thing, after you done the 3d extrude, simply switch off the depth layer. reveal only the light layer and then rasterize it. it will produce more realistic instead of making mask on it.
👍🙂
Thank you Jesús. Yes I will. One of the things I've always struggled with is making the shadows look realistic. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I'm learning every day.
I actually started an old school notebook (like in pen and paper) where, time permitting, I jot down the techniques you show together with the tips, tricks. It helps me memorize stuff and I find it handy when trying to recreate some of the procedures you show. Photoshop Reference Manual is more like a tools inventory; you explain the way these tools may be handled and what we can build using them. Much appreciated every time!
This is completely amazing. I'm going to have to watch this again and practice it a few times, but this is going to be a big help. (Thank you!)
Yes, I (certainly!) will. Thanks a lot, Jesús!
You're welcome!
very cool! I've been trying to figure out how to do shadows easily for ages, this is so helpful.
I'm a beginner, especially with CC. I've been using PS since version 4 with a 5-year break due to illness. I've tried several teachers on youtube and you are by far the best one I've found. I have watched 4 videos so far and with your techniques and explanations, my confidence level has greatly increased. Thank you so very much.
In regards to a question on whether I prefer short tutorials vs the more lengthy ones, I choose the longer ones.
Yes, I will and thank you so much for your time teaching this tutorial!!!!!
This was SO helpful and you explain the steps so clearly. Thank you so much
I love your teaching style! This has saved me so much time!
Thank you so much I was struggling a lot with shadows and will surely give this one a try you explained it amazingly and understandably. You are just great
can't wait to try this
Helped a lot, ty so much.
This is a great tutorial! I love the explanation of where you are going and what you are doing there. I also love the explanation of why you are doing what you are doing (i.e. why you're using the marquee tool before rendering the noisy shadow), as well as the comparison of commonly used techniques and the one that you are demonstrating. I used this technique in an illustration assignment in order to get a shadow shape that was being projected on the ground plane from an object that was suspended in the air. It kept the shadow shape in correct perspective as well. Thank you for this tutorial!
Yes, I will use this technique. Thanks! You are one of the Best Photoshop Educator on the planet. Maybe, the best because you method is always so concise.
Jesus, I love all your tutorials and use them. My favorites are this one and the one about matching luminosity, saturation and color. I will definitely use this one for all shadows. I am a beginner but to me, these results are spectacular. This technique is so much easier to use as well. Thank you.
Great tutorial! I found out also that if you change the extrusion to 0 in the 3d section you don't need to line the 3d layer up with the regular layer. Just a small little benefit.
Thank you for sharing!
very happy with your tutorials
Yes, I will give this technique a try. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you for taking the time and making this tutorial. I'm new with graphic design and I'm always lost. I already applied your technique and it looks great :D
Thank you ! :)
Yes I did follow your techniques and it was perfect, thank you for your instructions!
I will definitely try using this technique. From what I saw, I think I should even be able to make a shadow, replicating overhead lighting, by stretching the depth of the shadow after rasterizing the 3D rendering. Obviously it won’t be exact, but a heck of a lot closer than using layer styles and possibly faster than painting it in.
👍🙂 Yeah, it will never be perfect, of course, but it does give you good results.
Another fantastic tutorial with advance technique, Thanks for sharing
