good vid but I have question. How to do if I have to add a shadow on an object placed with others objects in the scene? I mean... in your tutorial you had a white background but how to manage a shadow on a single object on a table? Thanks in advance, Jacob!

Thanks, mate! I used it today for my image. Regards, Food Shooter Singapore.

How do you select black?

[@DavidGoods]

[@RoarFactory]

Thanks matiee :)

[@DeSeanRay]

something is missing because this isn't working for me

[@user-bp2rx8ec2x]

yes

[@anujjoshi5202]

Fill the selection with black. It is turning white for me :/ Followed same steps

[@rafaelduran437]

I'm having the same issue, did you manage to fix it up?

[@kylemaxwell757]

Did you just shoot the original donut picture with a white background? Wondering about the impact of background color bleeding onto the product making it difficult to change the background color afterwards and then also if you should add some fake color bleeding onto the donut to make it look natural when applying that "fake" background color.

[@RoarFactory]

I shoot on whites, grey and black depending what the final colour will be. I personally dont like the look of background colour bleed.. But thats just me

[@kylemaxwell757]

@@RoarFactory Awesome thanks!

[@Gary_G]

I'm stuck it doesn't make the object black when making the initial second shadow. Its selected but when I make it black nothing changes and it doesn't show up as black.

this guy don't want to teach

[@Gary_G]

@@user-bp2rx8ec2x Looks like he hasn't done a recent vid or maybe he is busy and doesn't get notifications. I do vids and do check my comments. Would grant some grace.

Why do I still have a hard edge even after the gaussian blur effect is added

[@mrrcassidy]

Maybe you have a mask above it in the layer stack?

[@user-ff6vs9ue6v]

Roar Factory is the best and straight to the goal

[@jc-crafford]

You are obviously very good at what you do, but you have the same problem as most other people that explain things on You Tube. You talk so fast that it is almost impossible to follow you except for rewinding all the time. Which is what people must do that learn stuff from scratch. It is not like there is a time limit for you to finish something. You were the 3rd guy whose video I watched, and I am now moving on again to find someone that explains something slowly so that I can follow.
