When it comes to product photography, post-processing is key to ensuring your images look their best. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to render a product in Photoshop so that it looks like it’s floating in mid-air.
This technique is perfect for e-commerce or advertising images where you need the product to stand out from the background.
First, open your image in Photoshop and create a new layer. Then, using the pen tool, draw a path around the product.
Next, select the “Stroke Path” option from the toolbar and choose a width for your stroke. We recommend a width of 2-3 pixels. Finally, hit “Enter” to stroke the path.
Now that you have a path around the product, it’s time to mask it off from the background. To do this, simply click on the “Add Layer Mask” icon in the toolbar.
Then, use a soft black brush to paint over the background. This will hide the background and make it look like the product is floating in mid-air.
If you want to take things one step further, you can add some shadows to make the product look more realistic. To do this, create a new layer beneath the product layer.
Then, use a soft black brush to paint along the edges of the product. This will create a realistic shadow effect.
And that’s it! You’ve now learned how to render a product in Photoshop so that it looks like it’s floating in mid-air. This technique is perfect for e-commerce or advertising images where you need the product to stand out from the background.
