In today’s video, we are going to learn a very simple way to remove the background of the original image and add a new shadow in Photoshop. We will use the Pen Tool to clip out the object, change background color, and use Gaussian Blur, Layer Mask, and Gradient Tool to cast a realistic shadow to the object. Just a few easy tricks, such as multiplying and changing the opacity of the shadow, can make the image look a lot better. Hope you enjoy this video!
