Drop shadow effect is getting more and more popular day by day. It is mostly use for product and jeweler photos. Do you want to learn this awesome image editing technique? In this post, I am going to familiarize with you the easiest way to create drop shadow in Photoshop.
At first open the image in Photoshop that you want to edit. At first, inspect is there enough space below your object to place shadow. If there is enough space then this is ok. If is not, put some extra background below your object with fill option.



I want to remind you of an important thing. Don’t work with just one layer, it will not bring any good thing for your photo whatsoever. Adding more layer bring some realistic look in your photo. So, after you put the extra space, add a new layer and select your targeted object.
Make a circle and place below your object and make it black. Now you need to reduce the opacity of the black color. You can do this in two ways. The first way that you can apply is to change it manually from the opacity option. Reduce it to 20%. Set the radiation to 85 pixels from Gaussian blur option.
How is it looking now? It is not real enough. You need to do some extra effort to make it more realistic. Make a duplicate shadow of according to your object. Then make blur of each layer that you have created. Or you can convert them into smart objects. In this purpose, click on the right button and click on the convert to smart object. Then go to Gaussian Blur option and set the radius to 106 pixels. Reduce some of layer Radius Number and increase some of those depending on your picture. Then merge all the layers together and again place the shadow precisely.
