Photoshop Down & Dirty Trick: Casting Shadows

Just a quick, down and dirty tutorial from Scott Kelby on how to create a cast shadow for an object (hint: it doesn't use the Drop Shadow Layer Style, which just makes it look like it's floating in air). Really simple and fun to do.

Tried the 'Shift-Option-Delete' instruction at 0:40 on my Mac and it didn't fill the image with black - nothing happens.

[@mikeswain9085]

Same with the Shift-Ctrl-Alt on Windows nothing happens.

[@kaiseranowar]

That was really cool. I was making something following another instructor and then I had to put a shadow something like you showed, but that was not easy for me to follow. Thank God i found yours. God bless you my brother

Shift+Alt+control on windows doesnt make sense, and doesnt work at 0.40

[@agil73]

I believe it's Shift+Alt+Delete for Windows. Worked for me.

[@vapotrini]

@@agil73 That makes the entire page black, not the object.

[@mikeswain9085]

Three months and no replies. Not the most helpful of videos. Same problem for me.

[@samgarcia4451]

Shift+Alt+Delete

[@RyanFolken]

@@samgarcia4451 Shift+Alt+Delete fills it with the current color selected. You have to make your foreground color black if you want to fill with black. At least worked for me.
