What it concludes

• Using subject selection provides a great starting point for creating backdrop layers with masks.
• Applying the Multiply blend mode to the shadow layer with desaturation creates a realistic shadow without color cast.

• Adding a grain filter set to overlay with monochromatic noise makes the synthetic background blend naturally with the subject.
