3. At the moment the shadow on the hair is black, but we can improve the look fur-
ther by making the shadow the same color as the athlete's hair, adding to the real-
ism. Click the color swatch in the Structure section to bring up the Color Picker.
Then place your cursor, which is now a color sampler, on the athlete picture and
click an outer part of his hair. This replaces the black color of the shadow with the
color of the hair you just sampled. Click OK to close the Color Picker.
4. Before closing the Layer Style properties, deselect the Preview checkbox, and then
select it again. Do this a few times, and you'll notice that the inner shadow we've
applied does a great job showing even more hair, but the inner shadow has also
been applied around the whole of the athlete's body.
5. To reveal the inner shadow layer style only on the hair, click OK to close the Layer
Style properties, and then choose Layer > Layer Style > Create Layer ( Figure
1.21 ) .
