Realistically Shadowed Paperclip
by Jen White

Realistically attaching a paperclip to a piece of paper or a photo is not hard, it’s just a matter of making sure to get the shadowing right.

For this tutorial you will need:

  • A photo
  • A paperclip
  • Photoshop Elements or Adobe Photoshop

Download the photo and paperclip I’m using.

Note: A manual and TOU is included in the download above.

    Another one of those “simple” tricks that I always respond to with, “almost everything is simple WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT!” Now we know! Great lesson, Jen.

    I also got another great tip from this tutorial when you talked about the PS Legacy Brushes. I am relatively new to using PS and wondered where they went. So Thank YOU again:)

    Thanks, Jen. I agree you need to scrape these moments – they remind us to stop and smell the roses once in a while. Did you take your photos thru the window? The tutorial was great – now I need to get busy scrapping!

      Yes! Most of my bird photos are through a window. But I have a zoom lens on my camera, so you cannot really tell. 😀

    Great tutorial, Jen! I’ve always avoided using paperclips because I wasn’t sure how to make them look realistic! Time to use paperclips! 🙂
