bike shadows 101
ok choppers....
my question is: How do you make your shadows for the bikes?
here, I just copied the bike layer, feathered it and filled it black, then used perspective to lay it down as a shadow.
Then I moved the original bike layer back over the shadow....

Well, ummm, I just take mine out in the sun. If it isn't sunny, I shine a spotlight on my
monitor. LOL
I do much what you're saying, but I hadn't thought of the gradient overlay. I would have selected with the magic wand and airbrushed it. Nice touch!
How the H** do you flood fill in photoshop? I do it all the time in paintshop...??????????????

shadows......... easiest is to copy bike extraction/selection to a new layer.. fill with black... then transform it and then apply blur

nice way to get decent 'perspective' shadows... is to use a plugin (ie alien skin's perspective shadow plugin)

Thanks, I honestly didn't know that. I have Learnkey cds for photoshop. About time I looked at them...
In paintshop, there's a bucket right there...[:@]

RE: bike shadows 101
That's cool!!!!! Would they look more real if the edges were blurred?
