Adding shadows is an easy way to make your composite look more realistic. Since this section is a self-
study, you will not be taken step-by-step throughout this exercise. Use what you have learned in this lesson
to do the following tasks in the
ps0901_done
(or work) image.
•
Create a new blank layer on top of the
ps0901.psd
layer in the Layers panel.
•
Name the layer
shadow
.
•
Change your Brush tool to a large soft brush and paint a shadow on the new layer.
•
Play with either the opacity of the brush, or the opacity of the layer to create realistic shading under the
dog house and on the grass.
•
You can see the finished self-study by opening the file named
