How to Remove Background Shadows in Photoshop Fast

[@wendywilson3597]

This was a lifesaver for a newbie photographer trying to fix all her mistakes after the photoshoot! Thanks a ton!

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Cool! I am glad it helped your photoshoot!

[@a2talkiesvlogs24]

i cant able to select option "fill" as it is disabled after selecting image thumbnail. If i selected mask thumbnail, its "fill option is enabled. Kindly clarify this.

[@HBrsz]

2:27 - How about fixing the noisy/uneven effect on her right arm/shoulder that was caused by removing the shadow ?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You can add or remove noise. Filter > Noise. There is another option where you can add Grain for certain part of the photo.

Great tutorial sir these is really a much helpful hi myself Rony an VFX student from India

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Hello Rony. Thanks for watching!

[@RedRumble14]

Thanks but can I do the same if I shot a video with a white background and there is a shadow of a person speaking?? Are there any tools?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

I am not sure how to do video edits.

[@AlainLafleche1]

Great tutorial !! i'm a beginner and what i was doing is almost the same technique, i select my subjet - inverse - than i use the eyedropper thake a sample of the font and than paint over the shadow, seems faster but you are loosing a bit of nuance of the font.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Thanks for watching Alain. That is a great technique too!

[@stanpioro8451]

Stopped at step 1. I can't drag the photo. It doesn't copy to the area below the original. I get a circle with a stroke through it when I try to drag.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

In the top menu, go to Layer > Duplicate Layer.

[@DebHvyMetl]

This worked perfectly. Thanks for the lesson.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Cool! You are welcome Deb

[@blackmike79]

[@jonathanbrown1177]

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ashtonkeen3432]

What program is this on?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

This is Adobe Photoshop CC, newest update

[@darrensangil4191]

Can I do this on iPhone?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Not sure, I use a desktop.

[@rage2610]

For the clone stamp tool on the last part, when I try to click alt on background and brush on the edges. It gives me black boxes which is really weird, it doesn't make a clean clone

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Check the settings on top when you select the clone stamp to make sure it is the same.

[@alisyahidriyandanu]

thanks mate, it works

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You're welcome!

[@Nooroismworld]

when i select mask the subject removes

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Go to Select > Inverse, then select the mask.

[@kevincg_77]

Thanks! It helped me a lot!

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Welcome Kevin

[@aadrijadey]

Thank you so so much. Amazing tutorial. Helped me a lot

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Hey Adrija, I am glad you found it helpful!

[@jordy407]

Everytime I click fill, nothing happens! And i have the correct layer selected :/

[@jordy407]

Got it! Folks be sure you have the correct selections on the top panel. Next to the house symbol (far left corner of the screen), be sure the “new selection” (one box) is selected. And that “Anti-alias” is unchecked. That solved my problem!!

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Cool! Glad you got it working Jordy!

[@benjamingejman8512]

I cannot press fill, it doesnt let me

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Right click on the top layer and select Rasterize. Then try again.

[@abojoseph]

That what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Welcome Joseph. I am glad you found my video.

[@Bigpapi2000us]

I Wishes there was some talking behind the clicks. I got lost midway. 😕

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Sorry, I hope the text at the bottom helps.

[@gemitem7697]

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

[@CharlesLayoo]

[@ElliottsPhotographyVideography]

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You are welcome a million Elliot

[@milan_fitness_503]

not good for no white pictures.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Sorry, I will see if I can make a tutorial on other colors.

[@sushi8204]

The problem is this method leaves hard edge so it looks like it was edited.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

I will try to figure out a better method so it doesn't leave hard edges.

[@ireneaduke2175]

It’s not working for me😩..... When I click on the fill nothing happens🥺

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Make sure the main layer is selected, not the mask layer.

[@sathishkumarr2297]

Me too bro

[@sathishkumarr2297]

@@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447 I'm sure the main layer is selected

What error are you getting? Which part of the video is not working?

[@hankkingsley9183]
