I really liked the way you created the shadow, it’s a whole lot less laborious than the method I have been using 👍

[chrissmith]

I really like the shadow part of the tutorial, which as you say is so effective at making the subject fit in to the background.

Absolutely love your tutorials. Clear, concise and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!

I didn't know about the drop shadow method! Sweet! I usually duplicate the figure's layer, load a flat gray into the figure selection, set the layer to multiply, then do the ctrl-t and fiddle with position. This knocks a couple steps out of the process.. I love it! I do a lot of comps placing 3D rendered figures into photos. Great stuff as always, Colin!

It was very helpful. Just started learning. Photoshop is very complex to me. But with clues, it's okay. It's getting a little easier now. But without discipline it becomes difficult. Today I learn something and tomorrow if I don't practice, I will forget it again. Thank you.

Great method to solve a frequent problem. Thanks for the video.

Great tutorial Colin. I've not completed the tutorial I bought from you. Getting there slowly. Thank you.

Very, very useful tutorial. What I really like about your videos is you don't feel the need to constantly talk which for me makes it far easier to follow what you are doing.

Thanks Colin for this tutorial, it is very understandable.

Colin, have you done a video where you integrate a person into a picture between items in the picture. For e.g. standing on a landing with railings.

Ditto on what Thomas said. Thanks and keep up the good work.
