What is shadow adding in Photoshop?

Shadow adding is one of the most advanced and effective image editing techniques. Shadow is to create depth and dimension to the raw pictures. The photo editors use shadow effects to make the images realistic and eye-catching. 

Again, the shadow of a picture is unignorable if you want to bring professionalism. It also improves the photograph’s resolution as it is a non-destructive image editing method. Shadow seems to be a magical image editing method that makes the job easier for an image editor. However, creating perfect shadow effects requires a lot of expertise in the photo editing industry.

How does the photoshop shadow adding work?

In creating shadows, a photographer usually focuses on the light source. He needs to ensure that the light comes from the side rather than from the front. And, this is a fundamental law that the editors also use while creating a shadow effect. We have to go through a set of image editing techniques to execute an accurate shadow effect.

Create depth and dimension

Shadow adds depth and dimension even in an ordinary looking picture. It’s because, in a photograph, we flatten the three dimension world into two dimension. Foreground and background components are combined using cameras to get a 2D image. Therefore, shadows may aid in giving the picture a feeling of depth. Hence, it may increase the scene’s three-dimensionality and thus its “realism”.

Create depth and dimension

You may draw attention directly to your topic when the majority of the picture is in darkness and just your subject is lit. You may use it to outline your topic and add more intrigue to the frame, or you can employ it to highlight your subject and make them the “star” of the frame.

Make your image look 'touchable”

Adding shadows to your subject helps in bringing out texture, and having texture in your photographs aids in giving the viewer a sensation of touch. Again, this makes the picture seem more realistic and interesting.

Creates contrast for more engaging pictures

Areas with contrast naturally catch our attention more than those without. Light contrast is produced when there is a meeting between the light and the shadows in your photograph. Basically, the secret to making photos more appealing is to make sure they have contrast.
