Master Photoshop Shadows: Make Your Edits Look Realistic!

Ever edited a photo and felt something was off? Realism often comes down to shadows and lighting. Here’s how to make a tennis ball in Photoshop look like it’s really there: 1️⃣ Use Select Subject and add a solid black color for your shadow. 2️⃣ Position it under the object and use Distort to shape it realistically. 3️⃣ Adjust opacity to 90% and apply a Gaussian Blur for soft edges. 4️⃣ Add a Curves Layer, clip it, invert the mask, and paint on subtle shadows with a 5% flow brush. 5️⃣ Repeat with another Curves Layer to add realistic lighting highlights. With these tweaks, your edits will pop off the screen! 🎨 Want more tips like this? Let me know in the comments!
