I would like to place the 3d Object - a framed painting - on a wall in the "Image as Background." Placing the object can be accomplished but I can't figure out how to get the shadow of the object on the wall of the background! Driving me nuts. I made a plane but that shows up in the PSD render and there's no way to get rid of it and still keep the shadows.
What I have get is the shadow on the back plane when use 3 point lights. See attachment. Did you try it. Finnally you can also use photoshop to add shadow effect behind picture (selection).

to make shadow you need light and the type of light I would use here is sunlight in a downward dirrection from about there that roof light is placed in the image

Thanks for your response, Ussnorway. I do use light but, when rendered, the shadow appears on the "floor" and not the wall in the background image. See this render and the arrow points to the shadow.

I did try the plane but then I couldn't get rid of the plane in Photoshop as you can see in the first photo I uploaded. The Photoshop solution seems to be the best. I placed a new layer under the painting then added a dropshadow and that seems to be the best option. Thank you for your help!
