Drop Shadow


Drop Shadow is created Under an Object. Sometimes shadow is not present on the original image of product or something advertising materials. On that time, we add Background with main Object; this is created a Shadow with Photoshop tool and makes the Realistic image. For looking lucrative to any image in the Background we must need to use Drop Shadow with Photoshop and amend with Background.
