Great video! I will definitely use this in the future, thanks!

[@kathleencrisp1]

Yes I will.

[@thealphaproductions1996]

i cant use 3d because ..my video graphic wont let me use 3d options .. so how am i suppose to make a shadow ... m having a hard tym here ..making my conposite

[@nik0_plays]

so much better than drop shadows thank you!

[@van_creative]

You're an exceptional teacher. I always understand your explanations and learn so much. Keep up the GREAT channel

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Vanessa!

[@maacdesmond]

one more best thing, after you done the 3d extrude, simply switch off the depth layer. reveal only the light layer and then rasterize it. it will produce more realistic instead of making mask on it.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

👍🙂

[@richardstalter5461]

Thank you Jesús. Yes I will. One of the things I've always struggled with is making the shadows look realistic. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I'm learning every day.

[@tomaszstramel3594]

I actually started an old school notebook (like in pen and paper) where, time permitting, I jot down the techniques you show together with the tips, tricks. It helps me memorize stuff and I find it handy when trying to recreate some of the procedures you show. Photoshop Reference Manual is more like a tools inventory; you explain the way these tools may be handled and what we can build using them. Much appreciated every time!

[@sheils.digital]

Was excited to start using this technique, but it seems that Adobe has discontinued a lot of the 3D functionalities shown here in the 2022 versions. Has there been a workaround to deal with this?

[@lawrenceferreira1051]

Jesus, I love all your tutorials and use them. My favorites are this one and the one about matching luminosity, saturation and color. I will definitely use this one for all shadows. I am a beginner but to me, these results are spectacular. This technique is so much easier to use as well. Thank you.

[@AnujRaool]

Finally awaited tutotial is up.... Simple yet most effective... No guess work no trial and error Thank you 😀

[@CCChesterC]

look. i've never even touched photoshop before, but this man's steps are so clear even I feel like i can do it, GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE

[@hannahsdesigns]

I'm a beginner, especially with CC. I've been using PS since version 4 with a 5-year break due to illness. I've tried several teachers on youtube and you are by far the best one I've found. I have watched 4 videos so far and with your techniques and explanations, my confidence level has greatly increased. Thank you so very much. In regards to a question on whether I prefer short tutorials vs the more lengthy ones, I choose the longer ones.

[@earlglass6328]

Yes, I will use this technique. Thanks! You are one of the Best Photoshop Educator on the planet. Maybe, the best because you method is always so concise.

Instead of masking, there's an invisible option on the layer. You can tick it and it should get rid of your model and leave the shadow :)
