What is a Drop Shadow in Image Editing?

A drop shadow in image editing is a simple effect that adds a shadow behind an object to make it look more realistic. It helps the object stand out from the background by creating a sense of depth and making the image look more three-dimensional. This technique is commonly used in eCommerce product photos and catalog images to give them a professional, polished look.

✅ Realism: Shadows add natural grounding and prevent your product from floating
• ✅ Professionalism: This technique simulates studio lighting without the need for extra equipment by using Photoshop drop shadow retouching.
• ✅ Brand Trust: Well-edited images build credibility and drive higher conversions
• ✅ Cost-Effective: No need for complex lighting setups or reshoots
• ✅ Image Improvement: Improves product appeal for online listings and marketing
