Casting Shadows

[e-mailsucks]

When I copy & paste either a person or object into another photo, it would be nice to be able to cast a shadow if it was a sunny day without a lot of work. There are cheaper photo editing software programs out there that do this. Overall though, they're not as good as Adobe.

Wendy:

I have adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 book by Andrews (Focal Press).

I cannot find any book that tells how to cast a shadow on and object (layer) And putting that layer onto another layer.

Could show me how to do this or where to find instructions to do this.

I would appreaceate this so. much
