In-Depth Information
The cabinet is finished except for the shadow, which will, of course, add
perspective, depth, and realism to the image.
• Create a shadow near the monitor's base on a new layer named
drop
shadow
. Use the
Paths tool
to create the shadow; then turn the path into
a selection. Apply a soft edge gradient (
Select > Feather
) of 25 px to the
selection. Fill the selection with black.
• In the
Layers
dialog, reduce the layer's opacity (transparency) to 80%.
• Success! You've done it. Time to save your image.
