Normally, Photoshop adds new layers directly above the currently selected layer, but by adding in the
Ctrl (Win) / Command (Mac) key, Photoshop places the new layer below the selected layer. In our case
here, it places it below the flat layer. Double-click on the new layers name and rename it shadow,
then press Enter (Win) / Return(Mac) to accept the name change:
Photoshop adds the new layer below the flat layer. Rename the new layer shadow.
Step 22: Fill The Selection on The New Layer With Black
Lets fill our selection on the shadow layer with black. Go up to the Edit menu at the top of the
screen and choose the Fill command:
Each layers preview thumbnail shows us whats on the layer, even when we cant see it in the
document window.
Step 23: Select The flat Layers Mask
Well come back to the shadow after weve curled the corners of our photo, which is what well do next.
Click directly on the layer mask thumbnail on the flat layer to select the mask:
Clicking the link icon to unlink the mask from the layer contents (the photo).
Step 25: Select The Warp Command
With the layer mask thumbnail selected and unlinked from the photo itself, go up to the Edit menu at
the top of the screen, choose Transform, then choose Warp:
Step 26: Drag The Four Corner Points Upward To Curl The Corners
Youll see a warp grid appear around the photo. Click on each of the four corner handles on the grid
and drag them upward. As you drag each handle, youll see that corner of the photo curl upward, and
youll reveal some of the black shadow layer below the photo. Press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac)
when youre done to accept the effect and exit out of the Warp command:
Drag each corner of the grid upward to warp the photo and curl the corners.
Increase the Radius amount to blur and soften the shadow edges.
Click OK when youre done to close out of the dialog box. Heres what my shadow now looks like after
applying the blur filter:
The shadow edges are now softer thanks to the Gaussian Blur filter.
Moving the left, right and bottom edges of the shadow inward.
When youre done, press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) on your keyboard to accept the transformation
and exit out of the Free Transform command. Heres my effect after reshaping the shadow a bit with
