Maintain the Original Shadows

When we composite the images then generally we create a fake shadows or don’t able to make them transparent because of complexity of masking. But actually this is very easy task and can be achieved by loading a luminosity channel and dont require any plugin. Luminosity means The brightness of either a light source or a reflective surface. Step 1: Open a photo of an object whose shadows you want to keep intact and transparent. Make a selection of the object in the image through any selection tool like Magnetic lasso tool, Pen Tool and others.
