We offer a wide range of color adjustment and editing services to cater to clients with varying needs. Below are a few of them:
The drop shadow effect is used to create a shadow that looks like it is dropping behind the subject. This technique is largely used for product images to create a 3D floating appearance to increase visual appeal.
Soft shadow creation is our editors’ exclusive expertise where they make your product images look subtle by photo-shopping soft shadows. This effect makes the image look delicate, natural, and less harsh for an eye-soothing look.
Floating shadow is a kind of soft shadow that is applied under the product to make it look slightly lifted. This hovering effect is popular in modern product displays. For example, to present a wristwatch, you can add a soft shadow under the product on a white background to draw quick attention from the viewers.
Experts use clipping path services for natural shadows to enhance the quality of existing shadows. The natural shadow creation service helps enhance the original shadow when the natural light setup is not sufficient during the shoot. With the help of natural shadow service, your product images will bloom.
The reflection shadow creation is also popularly known as the mirror effect, where the reflection of the subject is placed on any reflective surface. This technique gives the product a polished, expensive, and high-end look. The mirror effect is especially suitable for jewellery photos.
Cast shadow is used to give the product photo a feel as if the product is blocking a light cast on it. For example, if the image editor creates a cast shadow on the right side of a chair, it portrays that a strong light source is present on the left side of the product, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.
Upload product photos using our secure FTP or email. Give us instructions about the types of shadows you want to add. Share references if available.
Our image editors will add shadows manually using advanced Photoshop tools, considering the original light and angle of the product.
Download your images, review and request revisions if necessary. Pay after you are fully satisfied with the results.

Shadow creation is essential for almost all types of e-commerce products. For example, fashion electronics, furniture, cosmetics, shoes, accessories and jewelry are the most common types of products that we work with daily. With and without shadows can never be the same for these e-commerce product photos. Shadows help the subject look like it exists in the scene. Therefore, shadows are super important for online stores.
Choosing the right shadow depends on the product's shape, material, and the look you want. For example, drop shadows are simple and work great for basic objects. Cast shadows, on the other hand, give a more realistic vibe. It creates a vibe as if lights are cast on the product from a specific direction. If the surface is shiny, for example, cars and electronics, reflection shadows can be the best option. Natural shadows are the original shadows of the product and are best if the photo already has some shadows on it. If you are not sure which shadow works best for you, just contact us, and we can help you decide.
Yes, we can. Natural shadows are the shadows that already exist in a subject. If this shadow is not too strong, not aligned properly or clashes with the background, then we can make the necessary adjustments to make it vibrant and contextual with the subject. Shadow makes sure the product looks more balanced and attractive. However, during the adjustment, we make sure the light direction of the original shadow does not change so that it fits with the product smoothly.
