How to Create a Cast Shadow Using Layer Styles in Photoshop

See a quick way to make realistic cast shadows in Photoshop.

Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
