Working as a professional designer for 10 years, you videos are still super inspiring and helpful every single time!
You been working for 10 years and you still don’t know this 😑

@@adeemmohammed7908 I didn't see it until 2 months later. Understand?
@@_ozark5969 yeah but damn like you didn’t had to reply
I'm new to Photoshop & I really appreciate your videos. I also appreciate the people who take the time to comment. I think we can all learn a lot from each other. Thanks to you and everybody else for inspiring me & holding my hand as my skills grow.
I've been using Photoshop professionally for 15 years, and I never knew you could make your own pins on puppet warp! Holy smokes, this is going to come in handy all the time! Thank you!
Only thing I would add is to make the shadow a smart object first, then apply a bit more Gaussian blur. Then in the layer mask use the gradient to make the blur reduce as it gets closer to the subjects feet so it's gradually more blurry as the shadow falls away. 😉
Nice technique thanks
Agreed, how he miss that important feature
He did that in another video
@@rightalex7 They all leave important bits out of the tutorials......its so annoying...
You can also use "Iris blur" as an alternative to the gradient tool.
You're such a great teacher! This tutorial is really helpful and I'll be able to make better shadows for my food pics. Thank you and keep up with the good work!
I always look into your channel whenever I have difficulties in Photoshop.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this. I don't know what I would do without you.
Thank you! I also learn so many tips and tricks from you!
Pretty amazing work.. Everything looks so easy
thank you! color in shadow, contact shadow and the use of gradient on shadow, what wonderful tips!
Nice. The warp tool is a precious hint.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. The tilt-shift blur was recommend by Rocadamus below, so it could be another tutorial from you in the future.
Thanks for the tutorial, but I would like to see shadow that is useful for composting. Multiple shadows interacting with each other from various objects, displacement of shadows as it goes over various objects, and going from floor to the wall etc. We need more advance realistic usage.
Very thorough explanation of how to work with a ground shadow. Thank you.
Thanks, this is great, such a simple thing but makes a world of difference.
Thank you, Jesús! I learn something new from you all the time.
Very detailed teaching, thank you so much!
Thanks! I really enjoy your no nonsense instructional videos! Very helpful!
Very helpful, Thank you!
Thank you for such a great tutorial. I will have to practice this technic for several times.
Just learned about Puppet Warp today, thanks!
Interesting - thanks! I can imagine applying this to an image of 2 or 3 randomly placed flowers laying on a surface or some flower petals to get an interesting pattern. Perhaps an image of several tightly cropped, randomly placed, face-only shots of someone or of all members of a family would also make an interesting pattern. There should be no reason why all layers have to be a pattern of the same original image - my two previous ideas may be better with each flower or each face on it's own layer until the pattern is filled - seems like a fun technique limited only by imagination.
i APPRECIATE HOW THOROUGH AND EASY TO FOLLOW YOUR TUTORIALS ARE. THANK YOU.
thank you so much for this tutotial. god bless you
Great Tutorial to finally get nice shadows. Thanks!
Brilliant Jesus....one of your best and easiest tutorials to follow but one one the most helpful - thank you very much.
Often adding shadows...now I can do it correctly!!!!
Another superb tutorial. I learned something new with the eraser shortcut!
I once seen this on a billboard, interesting way of doing this btw👌🏽👌🏽
I like the tip on using Puppet Warp to fix the alignment issues!
lol the move trick is awesome!
Mr. Ramirez...Best Ps channel on youtube. Learned a lot with you. Thank you very much.
I don't know what i'd do without your help!!!
Really helpful video! Thank you!
This is another brilliant video tip for creating real composites! (I am trying to do composites with dogs so this is really helpful!). Can’t wait to watch your next video. So so so great!👏👏👏
Amazing...Learnt many things today: Layer mask, Blur filter, Puppet wrap and contact shadow...Thank you
I have seen this method taught by others -- always thought it didn't look natural. I have recently been using Photoshop's 3D workspace to create more realistic shadows, which I saw in a tutorial from you some time back, maybe a year ago.
This helped with some shadows I had to add to a composite. Thanks so much!
Thank you for these awesome videos!
Thank you for this tutorial
Thank you for the tilta key shortcut that transfers brush to eraser as well as the cmd + new layer icon shortcut to create a new layer under current. Will be useful!
Thank you!! One of the better ones I've seen lately :). Very helpful!
Thank you, very useful.
This is a Great Video. Amazing Tutorial.
Try blur galeri instead of gaussian blur. Use tilt shift option and it will result more realistic transition from sharp in contact to the shoes to little bit blurry shadow in the below shadow area which means more far from the ground 😀
Wow, this is so much better. I am not a pro but watching you and a lot of practice will surely be the way. Thanks a lot for making these videos.
Dude you are the best, I am so glad I came across your channel because I am new to Photoshop and I also subbed
Thank you, Blazecraft!

Thanks a Lot man!
Many thanks, great and informative tutorial
Thank you so much sir
I was trying since a year
Really lovely tutorial .
Thats so accurate and professional.
I just got my pc and started using photoshop,but the way you explain and tell shortcut keys all along is a big help for a beginner like me.
Thank you for making this tutorial,by help of your videos i will soon learn to do decent editing
Thank you once again.☺☺☺☺☺
this was awesome, thanks!
You're welcome, Ran!
I believe the blur has to be gradual also, sharper near the person, blurrier as it goes away from it. May be tiltshift blur is a better option to use
COOOOL ...SUPER COOL THNX
The best shadows-methods I've ever seen. Bravo Jesus
coool, thx!
very helpful video, thanks
Thank You!
Wonderful work for us to learn
Thanks, Excellent, expect more
TanQ so much Sir

Very awesome, thank you so much!
Thank you , your video help me so much !
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Really great instructions.
Thanks bro, that's helpful
Awesome. I have been having problems with this. Thanks
I had never thought of using the puppet warp tool to match the shape of the shadow. That's really cool! The editing program I use doesn't have a puppet warp tool, but I think I could achieve a similar effect with a big enough Liquify brush.
I think that this example's shadow could benefit from being a little softer at the bottom than the top, perhaps using a tilt-shift blur, but I could be wrong. The result looks very good nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!
Awesoem vid! I used just use the brush tool always to create the shadows and never know about unlinking the layers. Thank you so much.🙏. Please make vid on blending objects on the face if possible.
Great tutorial. Thank you. 👏
Great tutorial) Thank you so much)
Very nice tutorial. I would only change one thing: adding a bit of directional horizontal blur to the shadow. In this context I think it would make sense, since the shadows in the original image have also that kind of ''movement'' to them.
Well done thanku
Great tutorial. I convert the main shadow to a smat object and then usea blur effect. I then use a mask on that layer to vary the blur as the shadow moves further away. I also use the mask on the main layer, as you have.
Another excellent training video. Thank you
Thanks You.
Very, very good tutorial, as usual.
Super !
realy helpful for me!!
thank you brooooo
I learned a few new tricks in watching this video, thank you!
Great job, thanx
This is great, Jesús! I never think of the puppet warp, but I will certainly use this now.
Thank you Soo much
