BBTools Shadow is a Photoshop extension sold through aescripts that builds realistic shadows for flat layers, text and smart objects. Making a believable shadow by hand takes a stack of duplicated layers and guesswork, while this tool gives you direct control over angle, length, blur, opacity and colour, with a live preview as you adjust. A sun position option even sets the shadow angle for you, which helps product shots and composites sit naturally in a scene. Updated Aug 19, 2026.

FAQs

What does BBTools Shadow create?

It creates realistic cast shadows for objects, text and layers in Photoshop, so flat elements look grounded in the scene.

Can I fine tune the shadow?

Yes. Angle, scale, blur, opacity and colour are all adjustable, and the shadow updates as you change the values.

Does it work on more than one layer?

Yes. You can select several layers and generate matching shadows for all of them in one pass.
