Yes, you can edit out shadows in Photoshop. There are a few ways to do this, but the most common way is to use the clone stamp tool. You can also use the healing brush tool or the patch tool.

If you want to remove a shadow from an image, the first thing you need to do is select the area that you want to remove. You can do this by using the lasso tool or the marquee tool. Once you have selected the area, switch to the clone stamp tool.

To use the clone stamp tool, hold down the alt key and click on an area of the image that you want to use as a replacement for the shadow. Then, release the alt key and click on the shadow. The shadow will be removed and replaced with the selected area.

PRO TIP: If you are considering editing out shadows in Photoshop, be aware that this can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Shadows can be tricky to remove completely, and even if you are successful in removing them, the results may not look natural. It is often best to leave shadows in place and work around them when possible.

You can also use the healing brush tool to remove shadows. To do this, select the healing brush tool and then click on an area of the image that you want to use as a replacement for the shadow.

Next, click on the shadow and hold down the alt key.

Finally, you can use the patch tool to remove shadows. To do this, select the patch tool and then click on an area of the image that you want to use as a replacement for the shadow.

Next, click on the shadow and drag it to another area of the image.
