Shadow (Extension for Photoshop) | Bogdan Bogdanović

Photoshop extension for adding realistic shadow for standing objects. Supports: text, regular (raster) layers, smart-objects.

– Supported layer types: text, smart-objects or regular layers

– Choose angle (set manually or use ”Sun position” option), scale, blur (shadow dispersion), opacity, color.

– Auto-updates in almost real time

Panel UI Controls:

– Angle: the angle of the shadow (1 – 359)

– Scale: the length of the shadow (1 – 100). It’s a relative value based upon the object size and it varies from shadow angle. Sharp angles make longer shadows.

– Blur: shadow dispersion amount in pixels (1 – 100)

– Opacity: the opacity of the shadow (1 – 100)

– Color: the color of the shadow. Usually outside on a sunny day shadows tend to have a bluish tint.

– Sun Position: it’s a feature that calculates angle of the shadow based on the relative position of the object from the Sun (point created using the Pen tool in Photoshop).

– Auto-update: triggers the shadow creation process when one of the above parameters are changed. It makes it easier to get a desired look of the shadow.

– Bonus feature: Shadow parameters are saved in the current session of the Photoshop even if the panel is closed and re-opened later.
