3D objects3D objects
Within Photoshop there exists a class of objects known as 3D objects.
Typically these are Fonts or Objects and each can be illuminated by a range of lighting sources and directions.
Shadows are automatically part of this feature.

LimitationsLimitations
Such shadows are not “organic” that is:They do not soften with distance from the objectThey do not flow over other “apparent” surfacesThey are not “masked” by foreground objects

Organic ShadowsOrganic Shadows
Creating organic shadows requires you to beObservantArtisticHave a working knowledge of Physics, Optics and PerspectiveAdept at using the “hand” tools in Photoshop, this is best achieved with a “tablet”

It is best to use an uncomplicated picture that has:
Little in the way of “real” 3D topologyLittle in the way of “real” textureLittle in the way of complex pattern or colourationA well defined light source

Whether the object to be “shadowed” is already present in the image is somewhat irrelevant, but it is quicker is if is already a “floater”.

The ShadowThe Shadow Now need a Mask that roughly defines the
object. If the object is approximately broadside to the
light source AND approximately broadside to you (the viewer) then the Mask can be derived from the object.
If not, then you have to use your artistic skills to draw a mask in Quickmask.
