Good evening everybody I've recently started creating my own product mockups (for digital prints) with Photoshop. Working with smart objects, several layers etc. is no problem - everything works the way I want it to in .psd files. I've seen that people sell mockups online as .png with a transparency where the print is supposed to go. I've tried to recreate this but hit an obstacle: I have a background layer with the (transparent) cutout inside the frame, for example, and a second layer with a flower overlaying part of this transparency. As the light is coming form above, there's no shadow inside the frame, but the layer with the flower has a drop shadow. When exporting the file as .png, the soft drop shadow (barely visible in the .psd file) suddenly becomes a heavy gray streak. Have I overlooked something in the export options or do I have to work differently with the layers?
