@@_ozark5969 yeah but damn like you didn’t had to reply
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!
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 don't know what i'd do without your help!!!
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.
I like the tip on using Puppet Warp to fix the alignment issues!
Thank You!
I learned a bunch of useful hotkeys. Thanks!
You're welcome, John!

another page of photoshop bible by ptc. thanks lord of art
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.
You're so informed, and I'd be thrilled if you slowed down and showed us step by step what you're actually selecting. I think to illustrate the typical guidance of tutorials you already had selections for layers, and I personally could not figure out where things were on the tools navigation ... I'm already lost, 2:30 in....
Awesome. I have been having problems with this. Thanks
Very helpful. Thank you sir.
excellent tutorial as always.
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
Many thanks, great and informative tutorial
Good, thank you
TanQ so much Sir
Holy crap, I feel like an experienced photoshopper now 😂. This was helpful! THANK YOU!
