Thanks so much Christopher! Made my day :)

Easiest shadows creation method I've ever seen in the last 20 years. Amazing trick Colin!

Looks fabulous. I used some of those steps when I make shadows, but haven't used the gradient or density tool, just the opacity, so that is very helpful, thank you, Colin.

You are the best at showing "each" step in a good motion making the process easy. THANK YOU!

This is the first shadow tutorial I've seen that really works for me. Thank You.

This is by far the best and the most straightforward tutorial for adding realistic shadow to an image. You sir are a savior!

This is a fantastic tutorial for shadows. And so simple. Thanks Colin

Colin, one of your best ever. Like others I have been doing shadows in a similar, but much less effective way. Thank you so much!!

That was easilyone of the most concise, well made tutorials I've ever looked up. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure it out myself, starting by copying the object layer and painting it black... surely I'm glad about the results this gives :D

Thanks, Colin! You're always informative and thorough!

I have been creating shadows in the most complicated way possible. This is so helpful! Thank you!

THANK YOU! I've been lookin for a way to up my shadow creation skills. This is exactly what I needed!

Thank you very much! I've just created a very realistic shadow, of which I wouldn't have known how to even start, let alone add the field blur and gradient, without your clear and concise tutorial.

Collin, I have been TRYING to create realistic shadows for YEARS and you just showed me how in five MINUTES! THANK YOU!

Glad to help. Stick around, more to come :)

Thank you! I've been struggling with a shadow in a composite project. This was super helpful.

Great video and explanation Colin. The tutorial is complex but easy to understand!

this is gold. clear in each and every aspect. Thank you so much.

Straight to the point and pleasant, easy to follow, thank you!

I had done shadows before with blur and opacity but not to this degree. Thanks for showing a lot more ways to do shadows.

Amazing. The best tutorial I've seen for this yet.

Fantastic tutorial, Colin. Thank you!

What a tale nice tutorial. Very chill, easy to follow and quick. An additional compositing trick is to then tint the shadow to match the inverse colour of the light (in this case a slight blue/cyan tint) casting the shadow.

Thank you for sharing Colin. Yep always learn something new or something more. Your tutorials are easy to follow and well explained! I’ll be using these steps more often when I can 👍😊

Very usefull! Thank you very much for this tutorial, I need it for college. Now I know how to drop a shadow in a very simple way.

this is terrific, very helpful --- THANK YOU! 🙏🏾

Brilliant, many thanks for effort & sharing!

Man what I've learned today was holding alt and scroll key to zoom in and out.. This just sped up my workflow so much. Thank you

fantastic tutorial and I learned some great steps that I had never used.

Just for anyone wondering on a Mac, for the create layer instruction at 0.48 you hold control and click on the effect. It will give you the drop down menu that you see him using ☺

I've never done converting a layer of a drop shadow! I always select the object and copy it in black in another layer. And, then I go with the same rest steps you have shown here. But, now I'll try this drop shadow process. Thank you!

Very usable , Thanks .

Thanks for this amazing tutorial

This is so cool. I will definitely be doing this.

Awesome tutorial, thanks Colin.
