Create Transparent PNGs WITH SHADOWS! - Photoshop Tutorial

Create Transparent PNGs with Shadows Already Built-in, with Photoshop! Learn how to extract shadows and embed the same in a transparent PNG file. This way, the object is ready to be placed anywhere without having to worry about creating shadows.

In this tutorial, we will use the Color Range feature to sample the original shadows to help us create the most realistic shadow possible. We will also learn how to remove color casts before isolating the object so that it becomes versatile with any background.

I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

► CORRECTION: At 01:27, the Pop-Up was supposed to show "Hold Alt/Option" instead of "Hold Ctrl/Command." To err is human; to crash, Adobe Premiere Pro.
Thanks to Georgene Harkness for pointing that out :)

If Photoshop had the ability to explain itself to us, I don't think it could do as thorough and clear a job as you are doing. And as impressive as your ability to elucidate the hows and whys at every step in these magnificent tutorials, your humanity is even more praiseworthy. Whether you err accidentally or intentionally to teach us something, (Why is the paintbrush not doing anything? Because I still have Curves selected), it feels like you're saying, it's okay to make mistakes. We all make them. And words like, "You might like it a little more saturated. That's what makes us so wonderful. We are each a little different." Always a positive outlook in these videos. Thank you.

Been working as Graphic Designer and Art Director for many years, always hated clipping paths and loving masks. I have been using this technique for a while now and I am loving it!
I work with speakers in different textures and colours so I often reuse masks and shadows, this really speeds up the work and gives a consistent look.
Thank you so much for spreading the word.

I am loving Music & Jokes as well.

Love it! At 1:27, you say "hold the Alt key" but the popup says "Control." A minor mistake and easy to make. Just thought you might want to fix it :-)

Unmesh: I am familiar with your outstanding content for quite some time. At the moment though, I was specifically looking through your back catalogue for stuff related to masking and compositing. I can tell you: After every single video I'm grinning like a madman while shaking my head in disbelief. You, sir, provide the most useful content in YT, period. I feel humbled and blessed to be your pupil.

This video is really very helpful too me. I am in e-commerce business and I need to do a lot of editings. I'll try this on my next edit. Thanks Umesh 🙏🏽 I've learnt a lot from you. I knew nothing about Photoshop, whatever I've learn it's from this channel of yours. Now I can do the editing on my own, I no longer need to any professional. You are the best teacher I've ever had. Respect!! 🙏🏽

One of the best tutorials for masking shadows! Brilliant!

[mikalaybourn]

As always, absolutely AMAZING tutorial! Looove realistic shadows like this, instead of those fake auto-generated drop shadows!

[ameyhundre]

This is such an amazing tutorial:) Made my job so easy now!! I felt creating PNGs with shadows was simply so difficult or almost impossible to do:D

[AkyildizSerdar]

WOW man! I use photoshop for years and had no idea how this shadow trick is made. Thanks so much, saved my life!

[lacayoj]

You know a tutorial is awesome when it solves a problem you didn't know you had.

[moatazmady]

That's why I love Multiply Blend Mode, it saves me a lot of time and processes.
