to bring up Free Transform. Now, press-and-hold the Command (PC: Ctrl) key, grab the
top center point, and drag down at a 45° angle to create a cast shadow (like your shadow is

Copying Layer Masks from One Layer to Another
If you've created a layer mask, and you want that same mask to appear on a different layer,
press-and-hold the Option (PC: Alt) key and just drag-and-drop that mask onto the layer
where you want it. It makes a copy, leaving the original intact. If you want to remove the
mask from one layer and apply it to another, then don't hold the Option key and, instead,
just click-and-drag the mask to the layer where you want it.
