Angled Shadow Overlays

Add depth, drama, and a touch of realism to your photos with this collection of 16 high-resolution shadow overlays. Designed to simulate natural light filtering through windows, these overlays are perfect for enhancing portraits, product shots, or digital compositions with subtle lighting effects.

Each overlay comes in PNG format with a transparent background at 4800 x 3200 px, making them suitable for high-resolution projects. Thanks to their soft, blurred edges, they can be scaled up slightly without compromising quality. Easy to apply and versatile, these overlays offer a quick way to transform the mood of any image with professional-grade lighting.

How to use:

  1. Open your photo in Photoshop (or another image editing application that supports layers and blend modes).
  2. Choose a photo overlay and place it into your document on a layer above your photo.
  3. Set the blend mode of the overlay layer to Linear Burn or Darker Color.
  4. Reduce the opacity of the layer until the desired effect is achieved.

Tip: Experiment with blend modes; Multiply, Linear Burn, Color Burn, Overlay and Soft Light give nice results. You can duplicate the overlay layer and mix various blend modes to get the effect just right.
