recreate a dropped shadow effect

[artemisclark]

Hello

I'm looking to recreate a dropped shadow effect.
I've tried with the simple drop-shadow effects in Photshop but it looks far less real.
In short I d'like the shadow to look more and more blurry and fade in the white background color.
Can this be done in Photoshop only?
Could someone show me how please ?

Thank you!

Hi @artemisclark
I am not the expert yet there are two things that one can play with.
- one is the contour of the drip shadow
- the second is to use multiple drop shadows and here is a link to the technique.

With multiple drop shadows you can tune i the drop shadow and of course the tradeoff is a bit more work.
Using multiple drop shadows

One way to consider at least

Hello and welcome.

It would really help if you provided a sample of the drop shadow effect you're looking for!

In the mean time, is this something like you want?
