"Add Shadow" Tool for Cutout Objects in Photoshop Beta

Hi Adobe team,

I’ve been incredibly impressed with the new cloud-based background removal and subject selection tools in Photoshop Beta — they work amazingly well! While using these features, I thought of an idea that could greatly improve workflow for designers and photographers:

Feature Idea: "Add Shadow" Tool

I’d love to see a dedicated button or option called "Add Shadow" that automatically generates a realistic shadow for a cutout object based on a selected light source.

How It Could Work:

• After cutting out an object, users would click "Add Shadow" in the properties panel or toolbar.
• The tool would provide options to define the light source direction, intensity, and softness.
• Photoshop would intelligently generate a natural-looking shadow that responds realistically to the object's shape, contours, and position.
• Bonus features could include controls for shadow opacity, blur, and color tint to better match environmental lighting.

Why This Feature Would Be Valuable:

• It would save designers significant time by automating what is currently a manual and often tedious process.
• Photographers working with product shots, e-commerce visuals, or composites would benefit from faster and more realistic shadow creation.
• Artists could quickly add depth and realism to their compositions with minimal effort.

Given Photoshop's powerful AI capabilities, I believe this feature could become a game-changer for creative professionals.

Thanks for your hard work on Photoshop Beta — I’m excited to see how it continues to evolve!

Best,
Yoan
