If you’ve ever used Adobe Photoshop’s built-in Layer Styles tool as-is for creating drop shadows, you may have found it lacking in realism. Here’s a better way to add shadows to your product photography. A lot of the time I use Layer Styles for quick and dirty Photoshop jobs that are more about conveying the sense of depth or texture rather than really making it look lifelike when viewed close up. That’s where  Tony Roslund ’s quick tip comes in (with a hat tip to Aaron Nace from Phlearn). As a professional product photographer, he needs those high-quality shadows for his clients that can usually only be achieved by taking some extra steps. Rather than going to the Layer Styles route, Roslund shows us how to use multiple duplicate layers to build more complex and lifelike shadows. By stacking shadows, his examples also have all the benefits of being independent layers to mask or further refine. Have you tried creating realistic shadows in Photoshop before? Do you use th...

There are two ways this can be done in the Adobe graphics editor, and choosing which process depends on the results you'd like to achieve. One method simply allows you to adjust the dimensions without greatly affecting the quality, color profile, or information that is associated with every file.  The other is particularly useful for anyone who is creating content for the internet. In addition to changing the height and width of an image, it will also strip the photo of its metadata and slightly reduce the quality, thereby decreasing the file size and allowing it to load faster in a browser. Here's how to do both. How to resize an image in Photoshop  1.  Open the Photoshop app and click on "File" at the top menu bar followed by "Open…" to select your image. If you're using a Mac, you can also drag the image over the Photoshop icon to quickly launch the app with your desired file. 2.  Click on "Image" at the top menu bar followed...

One of the things many people struggle with when it comes to composites is matching the colours of the two (or more) shots. Manually dragging sliders around and trying to match two completely different images is just plain tricky, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with it. But this tip from photographer and digital artist,  Dustin Valkema  shows how we can very quickly match up two or more images together for compositing using a simple curves adjustment and a little known option it offers in the “auto” settings. Essentially, all you need to do is add your two layers in Photoshop as normal, with your background underneath and the cutout layer on top. Then add a curves adjustment on top of the whole thing. You only want to adjust the top cutout layer, though, so clip the curves adjustment to that layer by alt+clicking the line in between the two layers. In the curves adjustment properties, and you might never have actually clicked it before, there’s...

It’s 2019, and everyone with access to a computer, the internet, and some cash can easily edit various elements in digital images. The best and most prominent software to do so is none other than Adobe Photoshop CC, which holds powerful tools to create and retouch photos and graphics.  As powerful as the tools are, one non-advisable purpose of Photoshopping images is belittling the ethnicity of the subjects in it. Editing skin tones may be fun and profitable for some, but it causes genuine offence to others, especially when it makes minorities feel disregarded, dehumanised and disparaged as if their culture, skin colour and mannerisms were comical punchlines.  For this tutorial, I’ll bring you through the ways on what you should NOT use when it comes to altering skin tones. The steps here are pretty much applicable to most versions of Photoshop, other photo-editing applications, and creative agencies that may not truly understand ...
