Harsh shadows are one of the most unwanted outcomes in a photo that is captured in broad daylight. Sometimes, they may add to the image’s appeal, but mostly they obscure essential details which we need to recover. Learn how to remove shadows in Photoshop using multiple methods so that you can bring improvement to your images. Here is one method.
Shadow Removal Using Patch Tool
Another Photoshop tool helpful for shadow removal is the Patch tool. It is used on images where a shadowless area matching the shadowed area is available. Basically, Photoshop will replace a shadowed patch with a well-lit patch seamlessly via the Patch tool.
Open the image that needs shadow removal in Photoshop.
Right-click on the background layer in the Layers panel, and click on the Duplicate layer.
Now select the Patch tool from the toolbar on the left-hand side.
In the drop-down menu, click on the Content-Aware option. This will ensure seamless blending of selection with the surrounding area.
Clicking on the Content-Aware option
Make a selection around the shadows, and move it to a different background section.
Select a surface without shadows to let Photohop refer to the color and pattern that it needs to fill in the blank space.
After the shadowed area has been replaced with the brightened area, you can use the healing brush to clean up any mess and further removal of shadows.
Using Adjustment Layers to Remove Shadows
In Photoshop CC, open the image that has unwanted shadows which you need to remove.
Create a Duplicate layer of the Background layer by pressing CTRL (Windows) / CMD (Mac) + J or by right-clicking on the layer and clicking on Duplicate Layer.
From the toolbar on the left-hand side, choose the Magic Wand tool.
Click on the shadowed area in the image.
Up on the Magic Wand settings, choose the tolerance value according to shadow selection. Increase it if all shadows aren’t selected, and decrease if more area beside the shadow is selected.
Click on the Layer menu, and select New Adjustment Layer.
Choose Brightness/Contrast from the expanded menu, and click on OK.
Now click on the Brightness slider, and take it to the right to decrease the shadow. Adjust it until the shadowed area matches the rest of the image.
Click on the Contrast slider, and take it to the left to manage the contrast between shadows and surrounding areas.
After adjusting the brightness and contrast, you might need to create a new adjustment layer to set the Hue and Saturation.
